  Hi Patrick:
    My main workstation is Linux Red Hat 7.2 running Windows 98
    at the same time on another "virtual desktop"  using Win4Lin 3.0
    (with the same file system "underneath").

    I use rebol primarily for CGI, and I test with Apache.
    I alternately test when necessary from other Windows
    machines on my network using Microsoft Personal Web Server.

    Win4Lin 3.0 has a 'vnet' option that allows me to
    configure a "virtual machine" on the same machine.
    I have not yet used that option.

    I have found that my current version of rebol/core
    (2.5.0.4.2 on Linux, and the corresponding windows versions
     on the other machines have some differences in the way
     that CGI/path-info) is interpreted.
     I've coded to resolve those differences

   I am a partner in a small company. My other partner is
   primarily a perl programmer. He indicates that he finds
   differences in stability between Windows and Linux ports
   to perl.

   I do not find such differences in stability in my configuration,
   between different ports of rebol, that is to say:
   I find rebol equally stable accross both platforms.
   (disclaimer, I'm simply being anecdotal here, I have no
    formal benchmarks)

 P.S.
 I have heard that rebol is very big in France. I hope that the US
 will catch up. :-)
