Summary:
The documentation generally provides parity between Windows and Linux in terms of configuration tables and recommendations, but there are several areas where a Windows bias is evident. Windows is often mentioned first in lists and configuration tables, and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Storage Spaces, NTFS, Windows Firewall) are referenced explicitly, sometimes with more detail than their Linux equivalents. Some operational instructions (such as firewall configuration) are only given for Windows, and the section on installing SAP ASE provides a direct link to the Windows installation guide but not to the Linux equivalent. There are also areas where Linux-specific operational guidance is less detailed or missing.
Recommendations:
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux in configuration tables and lists, or list Linux first in some sections to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Provide equivalent detail for Linux tools (e.g., LVM2, XFS, firewalld/iptables) as is given for Windows tools like Storage Spaces and NTFS.
- Add explicit instructions or links for Linux firewall configuration (e.g., firewalld, iptables) where Windows Firewall is mentioned.
- Include a direct link to the SAP ASE Installation Guide for Linux, as is done for Windows.
- Ensure operational examples (such as commands, tuning, or troubleshooting) are provided for both platforms where relevant.
- Where possible, provide sample shell commands for Linux alongside PowerShell or Windows command examples.
