If you ask me, I think the preference of Linux over Windows comes down to just that: preference. UNIX has a certain mindset that Windows doesn't share. (Some say the "set" there isn't necessary.) What I've found, in comparing deployments client- and server-side on Solaris, Linux, and Windows, is anecdotal - but Solaris performs the worst and scales the best as an OS, Linux performs better and .. well, I haven't really slammed Linux yet, so I can't say anything about scalability, and Windows scales HORRIBLY and at low load performs the best by far. Java, on these platforms, matches up fairly well. (Remember, this is anecdotal; your mileage WILL vary.) I use Windows for running IDEA, Ant, various other client-side Java applications. I use a POSIX OS for server-side applications, because they emphasize the tool-based mindset and scale better. (Cygwin, which I also use on Windows, brings that mindset to the party, but let's be real: it's not POSIX on Windows, it's LIKE POSIX on Window. The filesystem differences, for example, are too pervasive to be denied.)
The mindset's the thing, IMHO: If your OS lends itself to component architectures, that's what you should use if you're DEPLOYING component architectures, because the cognitive dissonance disappears. The scalability you get from Java when you use component architectures carries through the OS as well. I hope you enjoyed all the facts and figures I've given you. :) >From: Martin Gainty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: Java Platform >Date: Sun, 1 Sep 2002 21:54:03 -0400 > ----------------------------------------------- Joseph B.
