Hi, |There are people who run a Windows 2003 box as just an XMail server |-- to me that doesn't make sense, since with the same hardware, you |could load Redhat from disk, install Xmail from RPMs and have just |about the same ease of install and management as Windows 2003 (and, |if I remember correctly there's a significant performance boost when |using XMail on Linux). On the other hand, some people just like |Windows.
not only "like" but "know" is the keyword for me. There is very few people who really understands Windows AND Un*x. Give ordinary Un*x admin a Windows box and Windows admin a Un*x box and the result would be same: bad. I would not use Un*x. Never, nowhere. Even in cases when it's from performance and so on reason the best. Because I do not understand it and have no chance to be as good as on Windows (and have no time to try it). So, when I run something, it must be either on Windows (then I can handle it) or a blackbox hardware solution from respectible company. For me it's simply cheaper and simplier to buy a stronger machine, than learn other OS. I would not like to see Win/Lin flamewar here. I personally have nothing agains Unix-based OS and so on. But Windows and Unix are two different worlds. Only very few projects is *really* working on both. Just now I am fighting with Perl on Windows to run SpamAssassin. The performance is HORRIBLE. Maybe its my fault, but I can't see it. In native ..NET application I know where the bottlenecks are. In Perl I don't know and no chance that I'll learn in some reasonable time. Simply don't mix the worlds.
