Hello All,
I am looking for a CMS to develop my website. I have a bunch of Windows servers – 2008 R2 – ready to go. But – I am seeing that this has to run on a Linux platform – is that correct? Can it run on the very inefficient windows server platform? Let me know, and thanks!

Hey – one more question – I just remembered that the server I will install this on is just Win 2008 enterprise – not R2. Are the instructions the same?

I am really not sure about the difference, if any. Perhaps someone who is failiar with the diffrence between these two can chime in.

I have another simple question – and it is confusing.

I see the word blog used a lot in the documentation. I am not wanting a blog on my site – just web pages. Should I choose another product – or am I just reading things wrong?

“Blog” is really just a leftover from the beginnings of WP – when it WAS a blogging platform. It’s come a long way since then and it’s definitely used for “regular” websites by lots of people. If you don’t want a blog, just use pages not posts. See:

EDIT- and yes, it’s certainly confusing :)!
