What affected the reliability of the system?: Technology

The project highlighted the difference between a Windows based file server and Unix. Unix was seen as a more sophisticated operating system with more options for tuning the database (00137, 00559) although there were those in the development team that did not like it (00877). The aim with moving to Unix was to install it where there were many users and they were suffering database crashes (00547, 00509, 00655).
