RE: Is there an alternative to MCE 2005 ?

["Keith Finnett" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, I agree with Phil. Been running an MCE machine for about 9 months
now
and I've not had to tinker with it at all to keep it running, as you
normally would need to with Windows.

Incidentally, I have a friend who built his at exactly the same time and
hi=
s
is really unstable. The difference? I picked components carefully and
bough=
t
new, carefully tested all the software and the machine is used for nothing
but MCE, file serving and an IIS server - he used whatever he had spare and
made up heatsinks to quieten it, uses it for other things and changes
software all the time....i leave you to come to your own conclusions!

Look at your hardware and what bolt-on software you are running as I'm
finding MCE *EXCEPTIONALLY* stable...

...however 3rd party apps such as "WebGuide3" really can screw
that
stability up.
