i doubt that you've run ArcaOS for over a year... seane is pretty much on the 
button, though... ArcaOS is just Warp 4 with some (more?) window dressing... 
eCS is nothing more than Warp 4 with window dressing but there's also some more 
*nix type additions... i don't know if ArcaOS has as much, though... i've not 
seen it yet but i do run eCS and do plan to get ArcaOS and see how it runs... i 
also know quite a few of the ArcaOS folks and have for many years...

what you're talking about ""running longer" is simply OS/2... i've been running 
Warp 3 Connect since it was released... i ordered it while at COMDEX ATLANTA 
and was already running OS/2 v2 before hand...
