yeah, we ran it on valuemusic.com for about a month, the server kept
bombing on us when we tried to do cfhttp calls, so we've notified
allaire and switched back to NT until that bug gets fixed.
There really isn't much performance difference. Actually, NT is a
little faster in areas like file system access and ODBC connections, but
these will get sped up as Allaire gains experience with Linux.
Maintaince is a little harder, you definitely don't want to do it
alone. Find someone who is well versed in Linux. If you're used to NT,
Linux is a totally different ballgame, having someone to explain the
subtlties of Linux is key.
Security is good, but honestly, it's a pain in the neck. Having so many
ways to secure things makes management hard. But once you do get your
security settings locked down, I definitely can see the benefit in this
area over NT.
The worst thing about Linux is case-sensitivity. It downright pisses me
off. I don't have the spare time to worry about if i hit the shift key
or not. Even URLs in Linux are case sensitive. You can get a
mod_speling for Apache to fix that, but all your cfinclude/cfmodules are
still case sensitive.
We're still planning on switching totally over to linux for our CF
boxes, but we still have a lot to learn about it that's for sure.
