Server on windows or linux

[Chris Jensen <cj...@edex.com.au>]

Hi,
We're looking into setting up Subversion.
We have the option of running it on Windows or Linux and was wondering 
if there are significant differences or issues?
The main thing that I seem to notice is case sensitivity in the file system.
If all clients were also on Windows, would it make more sense to have 
the server on windows too. Would that make case sensitivity less of an 
issue.
I would like to work from a linux client, but I would be the only one, 
so if it's going to simplify things, I can run from Windows too.

If we change our mind later, how difficult is it to migrate the server 
between windows and linux?

Thanks for any help

With respect to case sensitivity, the repository location doesn't 
matter.  The file versions are stored in a table in the Berkeley DB. 
Case sensitivity matters if you have mixed clients/WC's.
