    PC keeps Rebooting

    another issue I have run across is that system boards in some Netvista's are bad (the test they gave is a visual, look at the capacitors and if they appear to be swollen more than likely this was the problem)

    Deciding on which flavor of Unix

    Hey, I would like to get some input as to the pros/cons of the different Unix's. I worked some with HP-Unix and AIX, however, not enough to decide as to which would be the best choice for me. (ie is there a better Unix for beginners) I would appreciate your input. Joe
