Well, just IMO, i've used PHP/apache on both linux and windows for almost 2 years now, and i've never had a single problem with either platform.
I personally prefer using linux for server jobs and windows for desktop jobs.... so i don't think i'd ever use windows as a production server, but I do almost all my development work on a Win2k machine running mysql/apache/php, i love it :-) Apache is still classified "beta" on windows, but from what i've seen, it's a VERY solid beta. -- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation scott (*) eac.com "Matt Babineau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 004e01c210b2$bef510f0$6501a8c0@developerx">news:004e01c210b2$bef510f0$6501a8c0@developerx... > Yeah Scott, that's also what I have been hearing.
