I'd have to disagree. I use it every day, and it works quite nicely "out of
the box" under "Winders". Go with what you know, and if it's windows, it
works fine in IIS.

What are your Linux Skills? It works much better "out of the box" on Red
Hat. I'd stay away from "Winders".

I have been asked by the boss to develop some new marketable GIS skills. Our
company does a lot of work in the transportation industry. One task in our
transportation work is to do public involvement. So I have suggested
developing project websites with web-based project mapping using MapServer,
which I was introduced to at an ArcView training. To assess the usability of
the software, I wanted to implement a test to show the boss. Unfortunately,
my programming experience is limited to a bit of avenue, AML, VB, and html,
none of which I would say I am fluent in. Fortunately, the description of
the software notes that programming is not required for basic use.
I apologize for my novice questions, but I am having some problems off the
bat. I have downloaded the newest version (3.6.3) and the demo, but have not
found any executables in the zips. I am assuming that this is due to a
corrupted download. I also noticed that the software is known to run on 95,
98, and NT. I am running XP on my machine. Will this be a problem? I can
move to another machine if needed.
I hope that I am not biting off too much with this task. Luckily for me, I
am a quick learner. Would anyone out there please consider taking a young,
ambitious consultant under their wing to help him impress his boss? I will
be forever grateful.
Thanks for your time.
