    More stability, uptime and security under Linux.

    Probably easier for most users using Windows, but less secure and more vulnerabilities.

    Linux if you work it out my friend.

    It doesn’t matter what the web server OS is. There are problems running ASP on Linux but it can be done. FrontPage Extensions can also be made to work on a Linux server. PHP can run on Windows web servers.

    As I said, it doesn’t matter at all what the server OS is at all, what matters is how the web server software is set up and what server side language support has been added, if any.

    I’ve got both Windows and Linux web servers and neither has been compromised – although plenty of people have tried.

    Windows & Apache -
    Linux & Apache -
