[Opensim-users] re-why not a real OS?

[jabbaah]

  You've got it - the world is black-and-white:

Linux is good,
Windows is bad.

That's all.

Nope, back to reality: I am working as a freelance IT professional for 
years now.
If you have to install a new system for a specific task you'll have to 
decide which
operating system will be used. There are typical tasks which will lead 
you to a linux/unix/solaris
installation and there are other jobs which will lead to a windows 
installation.
Not to forget that there are typical os/x tasks which will lead to an 
xserve installation
or something similar (sometimes hardware dependant).

Back to OpenSim: You have the choice. I guess we don't have a 'typical' 
OpenSim
installation. Linux or Windows. Your own decision. Both are as good as 
the other.

Nothing bad about windows - but usually (if you rent a server) a few bucks
more expensive than a linux box (due to license cost). That's all.
But that's not a question of quality. If you'd use Red Hat Linux you had to
pay license fees, too.

Far more important is bandwidth of internet connection, latency,
size of ram, disk speed, number of cpu cores.
