Hi there

We are to make the decision on whether to choose .Net or J2EE. One of the questions my client asked is that, can we run the .Net application on Unix and Unix based database systems on server site?

Can we develop client application on VS.Net and put database on Unix environment? Can Web Services be deployed onto Unix environment

Any advice?
 
Hi Jonathan,

There's today some implementations of the .NET framework for Linux and *BSD,
these aren't offically supported by MS, but rather implementations of the
ECMA standard made by third parties.

Accessing ORACLE on a UNIX system is possible, there's a Oracle Provider for
ADO.NET provided for that purpose. But there's as always alot to think about
for cross-plattform implementaions.
