NetXMS Support Forum

If you had a choice as to whether to install the server version of NetXMS V1.2.1 on Windows or Linux OS which would you choose?  Does one OS version run better than the other?  Are there less configuration issues with one than the other? 

Thanks.

Tony
 

hi tony,

it depends....
1. which operating system is your strongest one ?
2. what is the database of your choice ?
3. will it be a production installation and you will rely on it heavily ?

i am a windows guy and as much as i love operating system and linux i find windows to be much easier from all aspects but here is the thing...
i have installed netxms at work under centos and postgre sql and they run fine.

looking from the netxms point of view...
1. in linux you have to compile the server and agent and some people find it tedious.
2. i have not installed the web server yet but it looks a little bit complicated in linux.
3. other then the above, the rest of the configurations and definitions are the same

here is a link to a poll i have started some time ago and you can see what netxms users prefer

hope this helps you solve the puzzle
