Windows?

No windows version and there is no plan for it.

[Digger3000]

Why not? I was thinking of trying it.

1) Windows XP/etc is unlike any of the UNIX like systems that we support which means significant work.

2) Only a tiny fraction of "power" users that LiteSpeed is targeted for would even consider running their web services on windows.

3) Combine 1 + 2 and we came to the conclusion that we will not support MS Windows any time soon. It is currently not practical.

Just out of curiosity, how do you define "power" users, and why wouldn't they consider using Windows?

Is there a way I can install Linux on my computer without erasing anything?

Windows has several issues that large web site operators do not like:

Transparency, security, flexibility, and cost.

You can try Linux on you computer using a free virtualizer such as MS Virtual PC 2004 or VMWare Server. This way, you don't need to repartition your hard drive.

You can also install Linux on your computer by putting it on a separate partition from your Windows install. You search google for linux and windows dual-booting how-tos.

Install SimplyMepis Linux

www.mepis.org

Burn the ISO to CD and then boot your computer with the CD in the drive. The whole operating system will run from the CD. You can also optionally install it on your hard drive if you like it by clicking the install icon on your desktop.

There is also a tool for repartitioning your hard drive in the System->File System menu called QT Parted. This way you can have both Windows and SimplyMepis on your hard drive and choose which one you want to run everytime your computer boots.
