I appreciate the help I've gotten from the list and have a follow-up question: 
how much hard drive space should we allocate to the database itself (as opposed 
to the asset store?) The End User FAQ on the wiki points out that this will 
vary from installation to installation, but it doesn't give any guidelines for 
how to estimate what a particular installation will need.

We'll be using the standard metadata schema. We expect to take in about 1,500 
objects during the initial ingest period and to grow fairly slowly (perhaps 30 
items a month) after that.

Thanks -

Subject: [Dspace-general] Windows vs. Linux as a platform for DSpace server

My institution is in the process of setting up an internal DSpace repository to 
manage archival material. Our IT team has more experienced Windows 
administrators than it does Unix ones, so they would prefer to deploy DSpace on 
a Windows box, but before they do we wanted to check to see whether any 
institutions have had performance or maintenance issues running DSpace under 
Windows. I searched the list archives and didn't see any complaints, but if 
anyone on the list has experienced major issues running DSpace on Windows 
rather than Linux/Unix I would appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks --
