I'm finding 4.5 runs better on Linux than on NT, particularly in
handling mail. Special considerations are that you're going to have to
use SQL queries for inserting and updating, files and field names are
case sensitive, permissions have to be set properly (including the
database password when you create your data source in Administrator),
and the placement of timestamp fields is critical in SELECT statements
to avoid locking up the Server CPU. There are also issues with
PostgreSQL regarding empty and NULL values in timestamp, numerical and
boolean fields. Beyond that, databases on Linux can't simply be copied
over as they can on NT, so the methodology of working with data is
different. I'd recommend getting VNC loaded on the server so you can see
everything in real time with a GUI. You'll need SSH access. Also make
sure Perl and PHP are installed because phpPgAdmin is going to be a huge
help.
Best regards,
