It's my understanding that using laptops for 24/7 servers is a bad idea because they're not designed for that duty cycle. The fans are tiny and will fail if left on that long. Laptops also get pretty hot under load. Also, the power bricks are often pretty inefficient relative to a good desktop power supply. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
