Aren't .NET and J2EE efforts to do the same thing. With J2EE, you have a set of standards with both OSS and commercial implementations. (Several of each.) I do consulting with a Fortune 500 company that is pushing J2EE via IBM's WebSphere on its project teams. The preferred setup will be clustered Linux boxes, but they are still piloting that for now. IIRC, .NET is not supported in their datacenter. In our case Apache/Tomcat does the job, but we are likely going to be forced to use Web Sphere ($$). :-( FYI: Apache/Tomcat only addresses a small part of J2EE. There are various Jakarta (OSS) projects that work together to address the whole. Greg -- Greg Freemyer
Hello SuSE folkz, Could somebody tell me please if it's possible to run M$ .NET web applications on Linux platform? If it isn't possible, what Open Source environment can be used instead of .NET with the same or better features? One of our managers - M$ addicted drone, insists on using ..NET with ISII on WinXP platform instead of FastCGI, Apache MySQL on Linux. What arguments can I give him to go with the Open Source web environment? By the way, is it right info, or just a rumour, that M$ quit promoting .NET 'cause lack of interest and compatibility with web standards? Thank you in advance for any information.
Alex
