While it does not really make a difference with respect to the base functionality, my experience is that Linux is more responsive (better performance) and stable. I have been running Zope and Plone on various machines with Windows 2000 and XP, as well as Red Hat 8/9/Fedora. Fedora is my current OS of choice with excellent performance and features. Fedora Core 2 will be out soon with the Linux 2.6 kernel which should even improve current performance. Of course, if you need OS specific libraries that will direct your choice. Otherwise, try to avoid such libraries. ;-) good luck Andre Bill Zielinski wrote:
Without trying to start any flamewar, I want to know which is the best solution for installing and running Zope. This server is behind a firewall and used for development only, so it will only be seen internally. I am trying to simplify the web update process for our departments, and I hope Zope is the answer. I know both operating systems rather well. It's between Redhat 9.2, Mandrake, and Windows 2000. Are there limitations as to each? I thank you for your input.
