Hi all,
I recently learned that when run on Linux, Jenkins uses symlinks to make builds
a bit more easily accessible on the file system.

This came as quite a surprise, and now I'm wondering what else is different
with Jenkins Master on different OSes and could affect my choice of OS for the
Master node.
Is this documented anywhere? While the wiki contains instructions on how to set
up Jenkins, it doesn't mention functional differences in Jenkins between
operating systems.
Regards,
Daniel
