The kernal is the same. There are some difference between Win and unix packages.
- UNIX uses symlinks. The point is that you install the kernal (it called src) in one directory and say dummy, test and start in differen directories. Adjusting symlinks to point to the kernal. So you use one instance of kernal for all the sites.
- Windows doesn't use symlinks. When you install on windows you have to select package for windows. Actually it is the same. The difference is that instead of links there are actual directories in places.
You can install Dummy on any machine. It is not need to be a server. I have it on my laptop. Sure you have to have MySql and Apache on it too. Be carefull with MySQL 4 (the latest one) because in some places SQL is not very neat and server refuse it.
