Hi.

I'd like to troll this newsgroup as to whether I'm better off to deploy on win32 or lin32. I figure that its likely that lin32 will provide both better performance and better error detection/manageability, but I'm lazy. I can click the buttons in OEM and in W2K, and having to learn all of that command line stuff like configuring shared memory settings and semaphores seems like a real pain.

I realize that by being lazy, that I make it easier for this to be outsourced to a country where folks are more motivated, but the mangement structure here does not reward pushing leenucks.

So I already know that leenucks would likely provide better performance, but only if I get really lucky and find the right papers as to how to configure it properly. I think that a cluebie like myself is better off with an OS with the hood welded shut. I like to click the buttons.

As clueless as I am, I still wouldn't use RAID 5.
