RE: AS/400 - iSeries uptime statistics

For what use?  How big of a database do you have on your $5K server?
How many users?   Doing what kind of transaction load?  Or is it a file
server?  There's a huge difference in serving up stream files and
handling database transactions.  When you talk about stability, you have
to talk about workloads.  Personally, I have found $700 Unix boxes to be
VERY stable for specific workloads, such as web serving.  Dedicated
servers don't get nearly the load a business logic server gets.
