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 Gayathri On 6/19/07, Gary Watry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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?
