RE: [Zope] Re: Linux/unix preferences question
I would recommend sticking to Linux, as this is the most well-tested Zope platform. Python on *BSD has historically had issues, don't know if that's still the case.
I'm running Zope and Plone on FreeBSD, both on i386 and alpha platforms. I seem to have problems no one else experiences (like PloneExFile being unable to handle attached files over 25 MB, or LDAPUserFolder causing the entire Zope instance to get stuck in a loop). Like MediaWiki, Apache, and PHP, most of the Zope and Plone developers do their development on Linux. Unless you are prepared to deal with the bugs, you probably should start with Linux, too.

Thanks for the info, that is some good advice. I am currently deciding which platform to migrate to (Linux or OpenBSD). Apple has let me down and I want to get off it as soon as possible. When you find *BSD specific bugs, how long does it take for them to be fixed? Given that most developers are running Linux, I would expect some lag time between a major release and when it becomes stable on other platforms. I would also expect the same problem with Products. Are there certain issues that persist on *BSD or does it just take a little longer for Zope/Plone to become stable on those platforms? I will take a good look at ubuntu before deciding. I am also considering KRUDserver. http://www.tummy.com/Products/krudserver/ On Oct 23, 2005, at 9:30 PM, Matthew X. Economou wrote:

Many of us at Zope Corp develop on Ubuntu and MacOSX. I think all of our commercial hosting runs on Centos, so KRUDserver shouldn't be a problem. The folks at tummy.com are pretty savvy. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at gmail.com> "Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless." --B.F. Skinner
