Please let me know difference between linux and any other unix system e.g solaris in terms of Application developement/architecture and serverside architecture.

I am new to Linux and in process of collecting information.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for the reply guys. That really helps.

Could you guys please guide me to answer following query.

What are the changes I wd have to make if I select LINUX as developement environment in terms of end user/developer and administrator.

E.g if I have to develope a JAVA based application in LINUX. Say I have to deploy it in websphere. What are the changes I would have to make in terms of IDE to be used/serverside architecture etc.

Thanks once again!

Isnt this in another thread inside the same topic?

For java you shouldn't have to make that much of a change at all, I wouldn't imagine. Everything I've played around with so far on Win, I have been able to port to Linux after compile and the like.

Personally, I would ditch the IDE (you did ask and any answer is fair game :-)) and use jEdit...

You ought to look in the Programming Threads in this forum to get more help on this. My rank as a programmer still last I checked was Weasel First Class.
