what server os?

[john10]

what server os? windows or linux or other?

 

[Micro]

X10 uses Linux if that is what you are wondering. But i either use linux for webservers (testing), windows for game servers, and a mix of both for testing php and stuff.

well i have to say that linux, i've tested a lot and is very stable, but i'm talking of web servers. LAN servers i've tryed linux but i can't make Samba to run correctly

 

[Derek]

Ill use both cuz i like hosting and game servers

 

[Brandon]

Linux gets my vote, FC4 or FC6 accually.

Its fast, dosnt require a lot of system resources...and what was the problem with samba centuxnx1, i got it working recently.

 

[cyberghost101]

I like windows servers for network environments due to active directory. Alot easier to configure and maintan.

Free CDs right there

i'd have to say linux, because from personal experience, stability is way better than windows, and it runs vbulletin way smoother, imo

 

[Bodifar]

Linux, not because of the stability (Windows 2003 Server is as reliable as Linux), but because of PHP and open source.

However, I must say I don't know ASP nor .NET, and I have nearly no experience at all with Windows-servers.

aaaa ... what about FreeBSD?

 

[the_king_dollars]

I don't really know. I only tested the linux operating systems.

 

[Bonekhan]

I use Linux for stable and professional servers, and open-source, user-friendly software to deliver content to the intraweb.

I use Windows for solitare.

hahaha nice, that reminds me of this site.

Linux by far; more uptime and all that jazz. then mac, then windows.

Haha... I digg that website xD

 

[mehtab]

I think freeBSD is better then linux because it consumes few resources when running apache and other stuff if configured properly. Its not good for multimedia stuff and can only be used for hosting puposes.
