Hello:

I think going Linux way is certainly smarter bet.

There is lot of speed up to gain ( which we instantly noticed switching to
Linux/Apache)

dbox - is client side?! so I dont think it affects your decision on OS

Regarding the question on Postgresql/Postgis - you would need both as you
mention.

Postgis is a layer implemented on Postgresql

Good luck deciding platforms

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).

Question:
What do I gain by going to Linux?
What do I gain by staying in a Windows Environment?

Any thoughts appreciated!
