The same server is simultaneously also disiplaying a unique exam on screen for each examinee where the sequence of questions is jumbled and the answer options are jumbled for each examinee.<br><br>I am being flooded just now with complaints of a recent very prestigious online exam in India where candidates all over India are saying their answers have not been properly recorded. This is not the first time similar complaints have come for this exam.<br><br>Also these local servers usually run Windows, but for this exam the exam vendor loads his proprietary Linux OS as a dual boot along with his own application software.<br><br>Sarbajit</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 19, 2023 at 10:52 PM Gary Schiltz <<a href="mailto:gary@naturesvisualarts.com">gary@naturesvisualarts.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Just my opinion, but I believe Linux is generally well suited for any server task.
