[Web4lib] Unix vs. Windows

[JML]

Dear Colleagues,

Our library is in the process of selecting a new automated system.  We 
are a medium-sized library with 30 service points, one of which is a 
large central library.  Our current platform is off the table as an 
issue, as is any expertise I bring to the discussion after twenty odd 
years of automating libraries.  Since I've been told that I -- as a mere 
librarian -- do not have the requisite perspective to make such a 
decision, I was wondering if you all would be willing to help me out?

What are the plusses, and minuses, of each platform?  Thanks for your 
assistance.

Joyce
