    Re: windows vs linux

    I would tend to lean the same way. If I had to guess I would say 60 -70% linux.

    Re: windows vs linux

    ... that's a difficult question. I would say in the category of webservers linux is bigger - I would also say about 60% ... because there're still a lot of expensive unix servers online

    Re: windows vs linux

    I'm suprised. I'd expect at least 80% to linux. Everything just works better. cPanel, scripts, everything. Its also a better operating system for home use too.

    70 / 30 atm

    Re: windows vs linux

    My educated guess, 75% linux, 15% windows, 10% unix

    Microsoft cant be using Apache, they use asp.net, and only that framework is availiable on Windows servers.

    Exclamation Re: windows vs linux

    I think Window has a lot of security and convenient applications as well as more compatible, but cost a lot! (small but more security and service)

    I used to use Linux but a lot of peoples know about .php etc, so I am not sure the security of Linux, compatible,but cheap. (big but less security and service)
