Easiest OS

[Andy Canfield]

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? 

I had considered Sun Solaris 10 but so far I have heard virtually no 
feedback on how well Mapserver runs on Solaris 10.
