It doesn't matter. You can upload to a Linux server from a Windows machine. FTP is a standardized protocol you clients across all OS'es (Windows, Linux, OS X) all 'speak' the same language.

As far as I know hosting-wise Dreamweaver doesn't need anything Windows specific; Photoshop doesn't either once it's saved as a JPG, PNG, etc you use Filezilla to upload it.

And, you can always change the account back to Windows within your control panel. It takes a few minutes to process it, but you can do it yourself. I know because I recently changed one of my sites several times as I was testing Joomla & Wordpress.

BTW -- I just jumped over to that thread.....you can upgrade right from your account from free to paid and you won't lose anything. I do it all the time when creating websites for others. I use GoDaddy exclusively (unless the client has someone else) and I use the $4.99 a month hosting plan....more than enough for most people.

Sounds like Groove will help you out, contact him.

I use the Linux hosting...works great.

Linux and Apache web Server for my Joomla CMS website. Debian Linux for my desktop. The ONLY windows app I use is VisiTrax under Wine. I have not been able to find a Linux Music Manager that even comes close at this time.

Thanks everyone its all fixed now...
