[mapserver-users] Mapserver and Windows

Tue Apr 9 08:33:56 PDT 2002

The only three disadvantages I have to deal with are:
-Buying a server with Windows 2000 usually costs more.
-For some things you have to purchase software in order to compile or build
your own mapserver, etc. executables on Windows.
-One image format (ECW) that we use requires a software developers kit
(SDK) to run within MapServer with GDAL and the SDK is only available for
Windows and Solaris at present.

Hi,

I have a simple question: which advantages I have if I use mapserver in a
unix environment instead in a windows enviroment?

In other words, are there more disadvantage if I use a windows environment
(instead unix)?

Thanks
