Not to provoke religious wars.. I completely agree with your Win experience on LAMP.
However, with OpenSim the performance, stability and tolerance gap is large . On a fashion CAD project I am using 2008 R2/VS2010/.Net 4 and the ‘way behind’ gap to Linux/Mono is equivalent to a hardware generation. IMHO Linux/mono dependency could well be the Achilles' heel on OpenSim progress.

(wasRe:[Opensim-commits] r10113 - trunk) Maybe for standalone and hypergrid, but Windows/.NET is not an option for me when my servers have to be published to the whole world. Call me paranoid but I don't trust in Windows for any kind of server. The experience (or maybe torture) in my everyday job with Windows servers is that they are intrinsically unsecure and have poor performance (unless you have a bunch of € to spend in hardware). My fear is "well, I update my servers now, no problem, everything is all right", and 2 months later someone of the core team decided that "a new thing from mono 3.4 is needed" and again I have to "run forward" with the mono versions of my servers. 2 months later, the same, and again, and again... I know that is alpha, open source, collaborative and with an "as-is" license, but, seriously, it doesn't mean chaos. I am really frustrated, overall when I read a message in the list with something like "update to version XXX". But this is only my "user" and "utilities developer" point of view. I rarely develop for opensim core, but I use opensim for developing applications... Greetings 2009/8/4 Brianna <wwwe...@gmail.com> For stability in the attic ... I have a hosted standalone OpenSim with .Net Framework that has been rock solid for 208 days, that choice is available. ----- Original Message ----- From: Impalah To: opensim-dev@lists.berlios.de Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2009 2:27 AM Subject: Re: [Opensim-dev] Minimum OpenSim mono version now 2.4? (was Re:[Opensim-commits] r10113 - trunk) Please allow me to be cynic but... For using/developing for/testing trunk Opensim versions I am forced to tweak my stable and well patched Linux and to include an unstable mono version which I have no guarantee about everything will work (maybe with 2.4, maybe with 2.5, maybe with future 2.9)... Too much unstability in the basement, even for an "alpha code" project, I think. When will be available a stable version for testing the new things (beyond 0.6.*)? Actually I have "fear of the trunk" and I am limited to old 0.6 versions for developing utilities... quite frustrating. Greetings 2009/8/4 Nebadon Izumi <nebadon2...@gmail.com> Ive written these instructions for compiling mono from SVN and the Daily tarball for mono 2.5 if it helps anyone.. Daily Tarbal : http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1334 Trunk SVN : http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=539 while opensim runs well on mono 2.4 it runs a lot better on 2.5 trunk.
