Personally, I prefer Linux based upon its friendliness to developers and administrators: it's got the tools we need and it's easy to build additional tools if necessary. Ever tried to script anything in Microsoft Windows? Your options are a) .bat files, b) WSH (which I was surprised to find out still actually exists), or c) install some interpreter like Perl or Python and you may as well be running in a *NIX environment. I suppose WSH lets you write scripts in Javascript but ... not my cup of tea. The only performance-related items of which I am aware that sometimes give Microsoft Windows a disadvantage are: 1. Poor uptime (due to general instability and frequent required-reboot OS updates) 2. Limited IP stacks on non-"server" versions 3. Bizarre observations when using high-resolution (or even ms-res) clocks and timers... seems like you can't get more than about 0.1-sec resolution or so reliably -- or at least plausibly -- on a win32 box. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlCN73QACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCOVwCfVGv+qBc7gEJ2w5/ZqsGqdSZz B7AAoLghhFr2GWZqc/uqGNCetGhzJmGo =vSun -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
