[Opensim-users] Opensim: Linux vs. Windows

[Chris]

Just my own experiences Linux seems to be a bit more robust and less 
memory intensive than Windows (as far as resources needed by the 
operating system).

Downside is, on Linux, OpenSim needs to run on Mono which in its current 
state is very slow at compiling scripts. Windows on the other hand 
(using .NET) is much faster at compiling scripts.

I would say if you aren't going to be using/writing a lot of scripts and 
aren't worried about script compile speed then go Linux. If script 
compile speed is critical or you will be using / writing a lot of them 
then go Windows :)

Just my opinions of course. If any thing I've said is not correct please 
by all means correct it ^^
