Hi Kevin, Well, about the disclaimers, they're there because there's no official Windows release of memcached for Windows, so those of us who have put out source or binaries put these disclaimers in them. That said, version 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 for Windows work really, really well.
Installing it on a Linux machine instead is fine if you already have some of those lying around, and it allows you to easily get the latest and greatest version of memcached. But the great thing about memcached is that you can put it on any existing server that has spare memory, you typically don't need a separate memcached cluster, and if you already have a bunch of Windows-based webservers or similar, it'd be a shame not to use existing hardware. /Henrik On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 01:12, Kevin Amerson <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey Jeremie, > > We experienced problems with the windows versions so we opted to use the > latest release for linux and just did a yum install memcached.
