the operating system you choose to install it on. Sometimes it can be made
easier and others more difficult. This section will attempt to help you
understand both the difficulties of running on specific operating systems
and the utilities available to make it easier.

covered, please file a bug in <A

>Making Bugzilla work on windows is still a very painful processes.
The Bugzilla Team is working to make it easier, but that goal is not
considered a top priority. If you wish to run Bugzilla, we still
recommend doing so on a Unix based system such as GNU/Linux. As of this
writing, all members of the Bugzilla team and all known large installations
run on Unix based systems.
</P
><P
>If after hearing all that, you have enough pain tolerance to attempt
installing Bugzilla on Win32, here are some pointers.
Because this is a development version of the guide, these instructions
are subject to change without notice. In fact, the Bugzilla Team hopes
they do as we would like to have Bugzilla resonabally close to "out of
the box" compatibility by the 2.18 release.
