This is a bit difficult to address when it's this generic. Remember that this is all Java so there are very few gotchas you'll run into regardless of your choice of OS. It would essentially be the same issues that have always been true in the CFML world, namely case sensitivity since Linux is case sensitive and Windows isn't. So anything that looks for files on disk (e.g. instantiating a CFC) must be in the correct case on Linux, because mycfc.cfc and MyCFC.cfc are two different files on Linux. > But I'm looking to to hear from you all.

Same goes for Jordan's installers (other than differences depending on whether or not you hook into Apache or IIS on Windows), same for the express version ... I'm still a little foggy as to what exactly you're looking for here. If you can narrow in on some specifics I'll be more than happy to help. > CFML on > Linux (Mainly OpenBD, but also Railo when possible) Then in your situation you'll probably want to install Tomcat or Jetty and use WAR files for your instances so you can mix and match more easily. You could also run separate instances of a servlet container on different ports and have single-instance installs of OpenBD and Railo. Hope that helps a bit at least--let me know if there are specific questions I can answer. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon official manual: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ Ready2Run CFML http://www.openbluedragon.org/openbdjam/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
