    this is a question about the blood and guts of UCD connect. don't worry about it
    [/non-nerds]

    does anyone know what OS UCD connect runs under - Windows (because it's down for some updating) or Solaris (because it never crashes) would be my suspicions?

    just trying to settle an inter-nerd argument about it.

    I think UCD connect is made up of several different services that are brought together into one portal.

    So you could find a mixture of OS's involved.

    The mail servers that form part of this are iPlanet servers. Blackboard is run on windows OS (hence the downtime for this week).

    Update: Reading from here (last paragraph) it looks like the UCD Connect Portal is run on Sun servers.
