ME is just windows 98 with some bells and whistles. If you want server, then win2k Server is still the standard (XP is only for workstation/desktop).
I think mod_perl/Apache will run fine on ME,2000,XP,and even 98. But for real server environment, the choice is 2000 Server. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Y.

OK, I can see how it is a Good Thing to make sure that those people unfortunate enough to use Windows are able to use my application without errors. But I also had another idea: As I'm trying to make sure my code is platform-neutral, I'd like to try installing everything on the Windows platform as some people who download my app might try to do this. Not having touched Windows in about 3 years, all the different products really confuse me. When I go to the local PC store to pick up a box, what should I ask for? Windows 2000, ME, XP? Is there a specific XP server, or can I install Apache/mod_perl on the standard desktop OS? ky
