Additionaly, it would be easy to write a VB app to run 24/7 that would manage the lauching/shutting down of Dom2 servers, and maintanence of the databases. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Linux, I just don't want to deal with the tediousness of writing a C++ app to do the maintanence on an OS I am unfamiliar with.

shell script? cron job?
I'm not terribly familiar with LINUX, too, but afaik there should be some possiblities to do this "the simple way".
And if you need more complex functions to work with the database and/or want a GUI for administration, why not use Perl/Python/Tcl with GUI-Kit (tk).
Or XBasic (code portable between Linux and W32 Version), so we needn't rely on M$ stuff?
