NewsForge | Freedom Partners leaves Microsoft for Nitix

"In addition to the added security and cost savings, Kaupp likes the simplicity that Nitix affords him. 'I can't even put a monitor on this server,' he says. 'The really nice thing is that the operating system is so small that it's all installed on a chip. You could trip over the power cord and turn it back on and it comes right up. My Microsoft server, to reboot it and get everything started takes 15 to 20 minutes.'"
