I have a Pentium 100 with 48MB of RAM running Linux and mirroring a production server with 5 giant databases and thousands of daily queries. Can Windows do that? Anyway, MySQL is so portable that for many years I developed and tested applications at Windows and then ported it with NO EFFORT at all to my production Linux server, and even have run a Windows server for a few months, MySQL is pretty stable and any problems should come from the OS, so, stick with what you think is more stable and less likely to error out. -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
