However, I know nothing about Ubuntu and have no idea how much work will be involved in the maintenance of servers once deployed via Cloud Builder. Should I consider trying to switch to Linux or stay with windows servers? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any suggestion is appreciated.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:58:44 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/suggestions-needed-windows-vs-linux-on-ec2/m-p/31396#M1110 JinhuJu 2012-09-24T17:58:44Z Re: suggestions needed: windows vs linux on EC2 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/suggestions-needed-windows-vs-linux-on-ec2/m-p/31397#M1111 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hey Jinhu,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>It depends on what you need to do.
