Talking desktop machines here, both Win2K and XP are pretty reliable
with few surprises, so long as you limit the installed software to known
good vendors and take the same care as you would with (traditionally)
pro systems w/regard to configuration and sysadmin. Use both Xp and
win2k (legacy apps) here, running on Proliant boxes and they only get
rebooted for updates or hardware changes. Have also been checking out
various Linux distros, with Debian (squeeze) looking far better and more
mature now than it was even a couple of years ago. Linux seems to be
coming of age and looks very good indeed...
