Not to provoke religious wars..
I completely agree with your Win experience on LAMP. 

However, with OpenSim the performance, stability and tolerance gap is large . 

On a fashion CAD project I am using 2008 R2/VS2010/.Net 4 and the ‘way behind’ 
gap to Linux/Mono is equivalent to a hardware generation. 

IMHO Linux/mono dependency could well be the Achilles' heel on OpenSim 
progress. 

Love Penguins too.

(wasRe:[Opensim-commits] r10113 - trunk)


  Maybe for standalone and hypergrid, but Windows/.NET is not an option for me 
when my servers have to be published to the whole world.

  Call me paranoid but I don't trust in Windows for any kind of server. The 
experience (or maybe torture) in my everyday job with  Windows servers is that 
they are intrinsically unsecure and have poor performance (unless you have a 
bunch of € to spend in hardware).

  My fear is "well, I update my servers now, no problem, everything is all 
right", and 2 months later someone of the core team decided that "a new thing 
from mono 3.4 is needed" and again I have to "run forward" with the mono 
versions of my servers. 2 months later, the same, and again, and again...

  I know that is alpha, open source, collaborative and with an "as-is" license, 
but, seriously, it doesn't mean chaos. I am really frustrated, overall when I 
read a message in the list with something like "update to version XXX".

  But this is only my "user" and "utilities developer" point of view. I rarely 
develop for opensim core, but I use opensim for developing applications...

  Greetings

    For stability in the attic ... I have a hosted standalone OpenSim with .Net 
Framework that has been rock solid for 208 days, that choice is available.

Re:[Opensim-commits] r10113 - trunk)


      Please allow me to be cynic but... For using/developing for/testing trunk 
Opensim versions I am forced to tweak my stable and well patched Linux and to 
include an unstable mono version which I have no guarantee about everything 
will work (maybe with 2.4, maybe with 2.5, maybe with future 2.9)...

      Too much unstability in the basement, even for an "alpha code" project, I 
think.

      When will be available a stable version for testing the new things 
(beyond 0.6.*)? Actually I have "fear of the trunk" and I am limited to old 0.6 
versions for developing utilities... quite frustrating.

        Ive written these instructions for compiling mono from SVN and the 
Daily tarball for mono 2.5 if it helps anyone..

        Daily Tarbal : http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1334
        Trunk SVN : http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=539

        while opensim runs well on mono 2.4 it runs a lot better on 2.5 trunk.
