SPAM: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Windows

[Paul Bartell]

It is most definitely usual (though my district is quite odd and runs OSX)
It would make a lot of sense to use a windows server if IIS supported
all of the perl modules that are needed etc, but it would be rather
unstable, makeing it a much better idea to run on a *nix OS.

Our campus IT department, for example, runs mostly Windows servers, and has a lot of Windows expertise. They have a few Linux machines, but their forte is definitely Windows/Novell, for better or for worse. I imagine this is not an unusual situation.
