Mashuri, I personally prefer Linux because it's an amazing and stable OS. I come from a Windows background and have been with Linux a little over two years. I'll never go back to Windows on a production server ;) I'm trying to make that migration on the Desktop but there's this thing called Flash, which I've heard has been ported to Linux, that's holding me back. Anyway, as for the install of CFMX on Linux, it's a breeze (kudos to MM on the installer). Yet there are serious issues with certain RH, Apache, CF configurations. I can only speak for RedHat as I know personally and from others on this list that there have been problems with spawing Java threads. Anyway, I posted last week that our server was becoming less and less stable running RH 7.3 and Apache 1.3.23. I finally took the leap to Apache 2.0.39 and everything is running flawlessly. I can't say this is the optimal configuration but I can say it is running well for us now. I know there are others on this list that are still having issues and MM is trying to get this resolved. My best advice would be TEST, TEST, TEST before you move your Linux server to a production environment. You might find that everything runs smooth or there may be the situation where you'll run into problems. Best of luck!

Hi Everyone I am new with linux here and I have a simple question . All the time I use windows as cf platform and with the new upcoming cfmx we would like to try to install it in linux box. One thing that make me seriously need to concern is everytime I went to this newsgroup it has more problem with setting up the system rather than the issue with the scripting of cfmx it self so is it linux edition of cfmx stable enough ? is it less problem? We are as developer supposed to spent time to develop a solution rather than spending time on how to bring cfmx up and running so can anybody recommend which one is better to install cfmx linux edition or window edition.
