So far I have only set it up on Windows but I want to set it up at home
now on my home server. The only preferences I have is that it not be a
Windows OS, it must be able to run Tomcat as well as Apache, and it
must be able to compile the PHP/Mapscript version of Mapserver. Does
this filter it down at all to a certain distro? <br>
<br>
I had considered Sun Solaris 10 but so far I have heard virtually no feedback on how well Mapserver runs on Solaris 10.<br>
