"If you're not equally familiar with both platforms, and you're not a system administrator, your best bet is to stick with the platform that you're familiar with, if you don't want to invest the (not insignificant) amount of time needed to learn another platform." I can't believe you're advising this Dave! First of all, that's a lot of "if's". Second, what is the problem with knowing what your options are? Obviously, someone who is looking for a "Linux Book" is interested in taking the time to learn something new. Why are you advising them that their best bet is to stick with Windows? I can already hear your reply: "That's not necessarily what I was saying", but it is. Read between the ambiguity in the above message and you'll hear "It's okay to use windows because that's all you know." That's a horrible philosophy! Rather, do everything you can to learn what your options are. At least then you'll know enough to make an informed decision about what's best for your company and your purposes. DO NOT simply use something because that's all you know... -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ Blue Dragon Alliance Member [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:258591 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
