Hi everyone
I need advice from the experts
I am running Windows Server 2003 with Apache and Mapserver.
I currently have 9 sites running Mapserver
The Center wants to move to Linux from SGI
I want to run
Mapserver with dbox (Steve, dbox run on Linux?)
Mapserver as WMS feed to MapBuilder.
On the database side is it
1. PostGIS or PostgreSQL
2. PostGIS and PostgreSQL (think I have to run PostGIS as front to
PostgreSQL).
PostGIS is a PostgreSQL extension, is not a front and is not an engine itself.
You will have PostgreSQL databases which you can turn into GIS
databases by PostGIS extension.
Question:
What do I gain by going to Linux?
To mention a few items, stability, security, actual server-oriented
OS, flexibility, easy scalability, open and flexible license,
independence (free as in freedom), knowledge
What do I gain by staying in a Windows Environment?
Maybe a nice and easy to use GUI
