We do have Linux installed and several projects which may in the future rely on WebCat under Linux, and I would have no qualms doing so.However, I would be remiss if I didn't say that running any *nix server is not recommended for the uninitiated. They are very heavily configurable, which is to say very complex. If you don't have experience with *nix, I would recommend against it unless you hire someone to manage it for you.You should also be aware that *nix is a secure O/S, unlike MacO/S classic or NT. Whether you go with MacO/S X (bsd-based) or some Linux varient, you will need to be aware that WebCat runs as a single user system under a non-privledged account. You cannot in practice just upload a database file and have it work.> > We're considering a switch so any insight would be very helpful.
