Hi Edward, Those 4 points I mentioned are really about comparing Java platforms to Windows.
> Really, none of that is true. The blanket statement "java is more secure > than windows" is very arguable, > but not worth arguing. I am not talking about application security here. Both Java and .NET are vulnerable to things like SQL injection, disassemblers, plain text configuration files, etc. My point is that Unix-like servers are architecturally more secure than Windows servers. For example, Unix-like servers address the issue of privilege separation at the architectural level: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/security/unix-vs-microsoft-windows-how-system-designs-reflect-security-philosophy/4627. >Point #2 also, very arguable, not worth arguing. Solaris, for example, has demonstrated linear scalability to 64 processors in a system, has databases larger than 5 terabytes, and lets thousands of users connect. Windows does not come close. Simply google the web and you will also find that Unix-like servers provide higher availability than Windows. >Point #4: "Java is cheaper than windows because solaris is free for development" is a really weird >statement Well, at least you won't have to bear the costs during development ;) Also, there are tons of free Linux alternatives unlike Windows >Use ubuntu server. That'll do it for you. Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it. -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Suggestion-Mono-to-provide-support-for-CentOS-tp4659706p4659713.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
