Gee, isn't linux great! I think I'll throw like 7 years of VC++/Windows development out of the window and go learn how to code for linux too. James Spibey Well cover me in honey and throw me to the lesbians!
There are products, like WinMain, that will allow you to port your app to Linux. Also i believe that you can run VS from linux using wine. Visit Ltpb.8m.com Surf the web faster than ever: http://www.404Browser.com

Aaron that Gartner report proved nothing. If everyone switches over to Linux in a few months there will be more viruses for Linux targeted at it's security holes than you can shake a stick at. You will then be spending just as much time patching and securing Linux as you were Windows. Do you honestly think that Microsoft with all it's billions and all it's minions would intentionally make IIS a bad product? Do you think they sit around saying "hey IIS 5.1 has this big security hole, lets ship it" ? Is it not more plausable that it simply has been a bigger and more worthy target of virus writers, hence why it has been shown up. Oh and just remember your words "it can't get any worse than Windows" when you are getting 100 support calls an hour from irate desktop users who have been forced to migrate from Windows to Linux and now cannot even find the print button or the open icon. By all means use Linux on your servers, it is no better and no worse than Windows (Linux stability vs. Windows features) but think LONG and HARD about your desktops. Your users will not thank you for swapping, believe me. Otherwise, the best of luck and may you and Linux have a fruitful companionship... regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." - Chretien Malesherbes
<<< If everyone switches over to Linux in a few months there will be more viruses for Linux targeted at it's security holes than you can shake a stick at. >>> Sorry, but the internet is already mostly non-IIS. According to Netcraft.com, Microsoft runs on less than half of the web servers than Apache software runs on. Even though Apache is twice as large as IIS, nobody has written an Apache exploit that has done a fraction of the damage that Code Red has done. <<< Do you think they sit around saying "hey IIS 5.1 has this big security hole, lets ship it" ? >>> Because Microsoft has an embarrasing history of having its own computers hacked because it failed to apply its own patches to its own systems, I wonder how much Microsoft's employees care about security. Heck, Apache hasn't had one extremely bad security flaw since 1997.

If you want to target 59% of web serveres, you go after Apache. Funny how script kiddies seem to favor the smaller target over the bigger target.

I still don't think they would want him, covered in honey or not. Actually honey would make him less appealing. It attracts insects.
I hate being rejected :(( James Spibey Well cover me in honey and throw me to the lesbians! - but only if they want to. I'm not trying to pressurise anyone.
