Do you prefer to use a Linux or Windows box for your server?  Why would you choose one over the other?

Well, from what I've read, Linux is way better when it comes to stability and security. I haven't yet tested a windows box, and I don't plan to very soon.

I also have never used Windows - come on Windows people, tell us why Windows boxes are better!

I have always been told that Linux is better but I've never used it.  I've been using Windows ever since and satisfied with it.

I use windows at work and Linux at home. Linux is a million times better. It is a much more stable platform.

I've been told Linux is so much better but I've never used it.I think the time has come to try it out.

Looks like no one is a big Windows supporter in here...

I prefer windows, but I'll be honest and say I really don't know much about linux. Everything I do is Windows based.

Linux is the best way to go. It is more stable of a system. Windows sucks completely.

LOL - I do not know if I would say windows sucks COMPLETELY, but there are certainly advantages to Linus, even for personal use, not just servers.

Hello Friends......

Linux:

1.The majority of Linux variants are available for free or at a much lower price than Microsoft Windows.

2.Although the majority Linux variants have improved dramatically in ease of use, Windows is still much easier to use for new computer users.

3.The majority of Linux variants and versions are notoriously reliable and can often run for months and years without needing to be rebooted

Windows:

1.Microsoft Windows can run between $50.00 - $150.00 US dollars per each license copy.

2.Microsoft has made several advancements and changes that have made it a much easier to use operating system, and although arguably it may not be the easiest operating system, it is still Easier than Linux.

3.Although Microsoft Windows has made great improvements in reliability over the last few versions of Windows, it still cannot match the reliability of Linux.

Thanks
