That isn't really going to help. The issue isn't *nix compatibility, but connecting Django with IIS. FastCGI is the official way to go; the other ISAPI modules are the next best thing. I work with both platforms, and I've lost count the number of times I've typed 'ls' into a Windows command prompt and have it error out :) Luckily it works in PowerShell, which is one of the things that Windows does that's better than *nix. > Unless you absolutely positively must remain a Windows/Microsoft > supporter, I recommend grabbing an old decommissioned box and slap > Linux on it.

You can't just set up a box and connect it to the network - the IT admins will scream at you (at the very least). They need to be properly assessed, configured, and most importantly maintained - an improperly maintained/configured *nix box isn't secure either. And as OP doesn't have any *nix admins, it isn't going to happen unless they hire or outsource. > I can imagine Linux is frightening, but it doesn't need to be.

It isn't utopia on the Linux side either - with the slight variations between every Linux distro, often solutions you find don't exactly work because of some annoying difference (versions, config paths, location of files, default packages etc.). > Argh, soo far off topic, my apologies.
