This all depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your web site. With Unix/Linux systems you will be able to find readily available free software, scripts, and much more. You will also find that sites hosted in Unix/Linux systems are typically more reliable and stable than Windows based systems. The cost is also going to be lower because Linux operating systems are available for free.

LiteCommerce supports UNIX/Linux, Windows and Mac OS X servers. We highly recommend you choosing a UNIX/Linux server. With LiteCommerce, every product can have one thumbnail and unlimited number of additional product images.

This depends on what applications you plan to use on your web site. For example, if you need a database driven web site, you can choose either PHP/MySQL combination under Linux or an ASP/Access combination under Windows 2003. The trend is for solutions to be supported in both platforms. For example, we support Microsoft FrontPage, one of the most popular web site editors on the market, on both Linux and Windows 2003.

It is a Perl based tool, but it will work under windows using ActivePerl (a free plug-in for Microsoft webserver software).

It makes no difference what operating system you are running on your PC; Windows and Mac should work just fine. All you need is Internet access, a web browser that will let you get out on the Internet and access your site, and an FTP program that you can use to connect to your site.

Yes. You can currently use the following VST-DXi wrappers that have been tested with Atmosphere in Sonar 2.0: DirectiXer, FXpansion VST-DXi Adapter and the Spin Audio VST-DXi wrapper. Yes, but you should have a lot of RAM (we'd recommend 700mb or more). And you'll need the Emagic ESB software to use the VST plug-in with the TDM system.

There are two choices. The first choice is the native C++ compiler of the environment. The second choice is to use GNU C++ installed on the platform.

Yes. Emacs and XEmacs are available for Windows; they both understand and preserve UNIX end of line characters.

Which operating system you decide to use should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Visual InterDev, and you don't have the time to learn Unix-based solutions, you'll have to choose a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based host. Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn't mean you should use a Windows host.

Do you NEED IIS? ASP? MS SQL? If you answered yes to any of those then you need to host on the NT platform. Otherwise, Unix is an option.

Starting in maven 2.0.1, you can reference windows and unix environment variables inside your pom.xml or settings.xml using an expression of the form:

For detailed information on choosing between these two operating systems, please visit our Windows or UNIX page. For a quick look at which features and programs each platform supports, please consult the chart below:

Yes - ezDatabase will work on any server with PHP and MySQL installed, including Unix, Windows NT/98/2000, and many more.

Microsoft Windows Server and UNIX (of which there are many varieties, or flavors, including Linux, AIX, Solaris and more) are computer operating systems. Both Windows Server and quality UNIX implementations are enterprise application servers that can be used for a variety of critical purposes, including, but not limited to, Web, email, and database hosting. Windows Server was developed by Microsoft and is, in many ways, the flagship of their software solutions.

There are only two differences between the GEX standalone and server versions: GEX standalone can only run on a defined CPU station (CPU locked) while GEX server can run on any station over the network (floating license)

MKS Toolkit supports standard UNIX facilities for exchanging files between the two platforms, including rcp and FTP. In addition, Toolkit includes standard UNIX utilities for handling bulk file copies (cpio, pax, and tar). To share files, you can use either NFS or Samba. UNIX text files use a line-feed character to indicate the end of a line, while Windows expects both a carriage return and a line-feed in its text files.

The script is tested on a Unix server not Windows. Each server is set-up in a different way, most will run the script without issue. Sadly I can not offer any technical support on setting up web servers.

Unix provides secure and reliable environment perfect for most of the hosting needs, but sometimes you want to take advantage of some Windows applications such as MS Access, ASP scripting. For that you might want to use Windows account. We provide Windows and Unix accounts at the same prices for the same level of hosting plans. Click here for details.

We recommend Linux (Unix) as it is more robust, stable platform and capable of a lot more load than Windows. This has nothing to do with the software on your PC that you use to surf the Internet.

Our servers operate on Red Hat Linux version 9.0. We will announce news of our Windows hosting plans in the near future.

During development, we have both Unix boxes running Samba and NT/Windows 95/98 machines. We often build with cross-compilers under Unix and copy binaries and source to the Windows system or just toy with them directly off the Samba-mounted partition. On dual-boot NT/Windows 9x machines, we usually use the FAT filesystem so we can also access the files under Windows 9x.

Unix, Linux, and Windows are different operating systems. Each allow command-line commands and point-and-click operations. Unix workstations are used for running engineering software, programming, networking, web browsing, and electronic mail. Linux computers come with productivity tools and CSS is adding engineering software packages as they become available. Windows computers are used for productivity tools (word processing, database, etc.

Database-style file locking will not be supported. However, if a Windows client is writing a file for example, a UNIX client will be locked out until writing is completed and vice versa.

CVS for UNIX can be downloaded from http://www.cvshome.org. CVSNT can be downloaded from http://www.cvsnt.org.

The first is to use a portable graphics library such as tcl/tk, X11, or V (and others?). Typically, you will end up with a GUI on Windows that requires some runtime support. With tcl/tk, you'll want to include the necessary library files and the tcl/tk DLLs. In the case of X11, you'll need everyone using your program to have an X11 server installed. The second method is to rewrite your GUI using Win32 API calls (or MFC with VC++).

If the file you want to unzip (uncompress) has the extension ".gz" or ".z" type "gunzip {file_name}" at the UNIX prompt. If it has ".zip" then type "unzip {file_name}" at the UNIX prompt. These commands are the UNIX equivalent of using Winzip on Windows.

If you plan to use ASP, ASP.net, or Microsoft database connectivity then you should select a Windows Hosting Plan. Otherwise, a Linux Hosting Plan is a wise decision based on its speed, reliability, and support for nearly all major scripting languages along with MySQL.

EchoLink is designed specifically to run under Microsoft Windows. Currently, there are no plans to offer versions of EchoLink for other platforms. However, if you are running a Macintosh with OS X, you can use the program EchoMac by N9YTY, which is compatible with EchoLink. (Support for EchoMac is not available through the EchoLink Web site.) Many users have also had success running EchoLink under Linux using the Wine compatibility layer.
