Hi Lawrence
I moved from Windows to Linux and would never l= ook back.
There is= lots of helpful advice on running Linux servers on the web, and once setup y= ou don=E2=80=99t have to do much except keep things updated.
Webmin is a GUI for Linux, some p= eople hate it, others swear by it - for me it makes things a bit quicker, bu= t ensure that it is locked down well.
If you go to Linux, you then have the cloud to chose fro= m, I am so happy to have been able to now use our server room as bicycle sto= rage !!
For what y= ou are considering I would go to Amazon, then if the hardware isn=E2=80=99t b= ig enough you can upgrade it with a click !
I have not used Mac server but from what I gather y= ou can drop a mac site into a linux environment with very minor issues. = ;
Linode.com is a great place to experiment w= ith different server configs at low cost.
Kind regards

Hi,
I have run Mac servers since I started the web a= nd Webdna in 1999.
I'm thinking to swap to Linux but I= wonder if I will be able to handle it...
<= span style=3D"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class=3D"">I also wond= er if it would be a good idea or not ;-)
Actually I r= un my server on a Mac mini with SSD drives and the max Ram but it=E2=80=99s not much=E2=80=A6
I will be setting u= p a new project with (I hope) few hundreds of subdomains running with Webdna.
What would be the right/best config system and hardware to run a server with= the last Webdna installed on?
Has anyone made a swap from= MacOs to Linux?
Thanks in advance for any advises you could provide me.
Have a Nice Sunday
Lawrenc= e
