Roger, I think get your SP to set up a test linux box for you, for the
office.
You will need it for developers to test...
Yes tomcat is perfectly compatible, but unfortunately developers are not and
it very easy to slip in the code.... ie programmer has d:\property\ hard
coded somewhere.
Or more subtly, they have used say captcha and have used Swing, and the
linux box runs headless... just little things that are going to catch you.
You have to have a linux box if dev people all have MS background.
What I also wanted to say is have a look at Postgres SQL server, it has a
windows and naturally a linux version. It also has ODBC/JDBC drivers so the
guys can still develop through Access even if its on a linux box, and its
mega powerful, supports transaction concurrency, everything.
but... the SQL (like all other DBMS's) is slightly different.... in general
just keep it simple, ie triggers and stored procedures are very different to
MS.
Anyway start getting the guys onto that, even if you do decide to keep it
all on MS.... and you going to deploy as a free man ;)
good luck....

Subject: Re: Windows or Linux as Tomcat server?
Thanks for all your replies!
@Johnny Kewl and David kerber
We'll look into the memory leak, into the code. I don't know when
we're going to find it, but it's good to know that it's not related to
the Windows version of Tomcat.
@Andrew Miehs and Tim Funk
The server is hosted by a provider and behind a firewall. They have
SAS 70 type II certification, so I suppose they know what they do. I
am quite familiar with the command line, SSH and Linux/BSD. There is
no deadline, I just wanted to know this for future installations when
we have the choice between Windows and Linux servers.
@Peter Crowther
That's another good tip. And I hate MS licencing. It's so incredibly
complicated.
@Ronald Klop
We do start it as a service, so the command window won't be a problem.
We use MS SQL Server, so we always need a Windows 2003 server. If we
have a client that is familiar with Linux or BSD (with good Linux
administrators), that would be a good test case.
