Cross Platform Dev (Windows Dev, Sol Prod)

So, I might shortly be faced with the possibility of developing on Windows and deploying to Solaris. My work involves a lot of DCT, FormAPI, etc which is no problem, but I also have a lot of Perl stuff that is going to be a nightmare. I am wondering if anyone out there has any experience working around this? Possibly involving Cygwin? What about a Fedora partition? I know only RedHat Enterprise is officially supported, but would it work anyway?

Windows to Unix is a bad idea. I have done it before and the case insensitive to case sensitive will break a ton of stuff.

Use Linux to Unix if you can.

If not, you MUST use TS browser to select images, links, etc. The TS filesystem is case sensitive (even on DOS) or force everything lower case.

Also, you will want to load Apache as your webserver instead of IIS.
