Oh boy. You're completely misinformed about mono and VMWare. You should research such statements before publicly posting.
Not going to get into a debate about this with you. But, if you think that running VMWare in production is a bad idea, then you certainly haven't been in very many enterprise level operations.

Well it's things like this that they get ya on. It's just like .net, sure its free, IF you run it on a windows server" ....NET runs on **ix. It is called Mono & they painstakingly reproduces .NET on windows (even reproduce .NET bugs / quirky behavior so applications don't have to be touched when making the conversion). http://www.mono-project.com Warmest Regards, Phillip B.

I think for now I'll just setup Apache, CF7, DW8, & MySQL 5 on my laptop and test there. When I've completing testing, I'll set up a new server with Windows 2003 Standard or Windows 2003 Web Server as a production server. I just did a little reading about Windows 2003 Web Server Edition and it's curious that MS says you can't use SQL Server or even the SQL Server Express Edition with it. The describe the Web Server Edition as being built for developing web applications...how do they expect a web application to be built with a database? I figure I can use MySQL on it, which I would anyway, but they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot with that limitation...

" but I could still use Win 2000 Server " It's always nice to have to regress back 6 years to get a system of theirs that works right, while windows 2000 was probably their best one aren't they stopping updates to it now? Which brings up the point of if you do go with a windows server you will be spending a whole lot of time doing updates to it and if its a production server then you have lots of testing to do after each update to check for compatibilty problems. You will have that on the other os servers as well but not nearly as much. ~Dave - formerly known as "the disruptor"~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244037 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
