Most of the chat servers i have heard of , use Linux or other unix/linux variants.

B.T.W dalnet has been continuing to remain crippled...(dont forget the enormous amount of DDOS attacks it was given)

I think Linux/Unix did not responcible for DDOS Attack. Its due to their Servers which have not much bandwidht and IP Address. If you notice www.undernet.org then you can see that Undernet.org never goes down because there is a reason and that is they have much powerfull Circuits and they have good Admins :) Most of them whome i knew is dreamd, Nico, Revenger, Badger, netking, and Bjoern.

Hi freak,

You misunderstood my statement.
I never blamed linux for the ddos attacks on DalNet.I was just pointing out that dalnet has been crippled alot...not that it runs on linux or not.
