[JDEV] Servers

[Robert Thompson]

I wanted to clarify in the message I just posted that I was asking if Jabber
Server would run significantly faster on Red Hat Linux than on Windows NT
(i.e. not comparing unix to unix).

With the mention of the Win32 version coming, I'm trying to decide the best
route, Linux or NT, given the fact that NT is my better background on
servers and also considering I want to plan for the best high-traffic
performance.  If it's not too bad on Win32, I just want to use that.
