Hi

Does anyone know, or have read, anything about whether 2003 Server
performance is better than 2000 Server? I am wondering if there have been
any improvements to things like the file system, memory management, or
multi-processor handling that might improve performance for an application
server running a mailing list system and Apache 2?

Thanks
Bigus

From what I can tell, the main driving forces are Terminal Services related.

If you want to run a mailing list and Apache, why don't you run Apache and
majordomo on a linux box? No gui, no stupid overheads, and waaayyyy less
security concerns. Oh, hang on, I'm in a windows newsgroup ;-)

Is there nowhere one can go these days without encountering the de facto
"linux answer"? ;-)

I'm a "point-click-scratchhead-kickmachine-reinstall" Windows boy rather
than a
"commandline-type-getcoffee-reprogram-shutcurtainsforseveraldays-growbeard-r
ecompilekernel" Linux person :-)

Actually Bigus in this circumstance you were given the best answer. If you want IIS functionality then there you go Windows. But I can tell you IIS is not going to be any advantage for your stated purpose and the security concerns will become multiplied exponentially. I am not an advocate of Linux but I believe the best tool for what you want to do was suggested.
