Does anyone know if too many hosts can be put up on a single windows server. Would it be as stable as it was with a few hosts? ... any views on this?

Hey,

I will vote for Linux servers. Linux servers are more user friendly.

Hello All..

In general, the difference is that open-source code is available to anyone whereas closed-source means the creator of the application keeps the source to himself. For example, the source code of Linux is available at kernel.org/, but you can't get the source code of Windows anywhere (if you can, it'll be against the law).

If there is something you want to change about a program, then you would typically tell the author about it and maybe he will then make those changes. But with open-source, you also have the option to download the source code, make your changes to it, recompile it and use it straight away. After that you may want to send those changes back to the author. If he thinks it's something useful, then your code could be used in the next official version of the software.

Hi,

I suggest you, to go for a linux, you don't need to pay on Licencing, get the patches and updates easily, open source community forums available for any kind of support, NO VIRUS, the best file system compare to windows, well there is so much to say on Linux, because open source matters.

Hello friends

Comparisons between the Microsoft Windows and Linux computer operating systems are a common topic of discussion among their users. Currently, Windows is the dominant proprietary operating system for personal desktop use (in terms of desktop installations), while Linux is the most prominent free software operating system. Both operating systems not only compete for user base in the personal computer market but are also rivals in the server and embedded systems markets.
The comparisons below reflect three families of Windows operating systems: Windows 9x (legacy), Windows NT, and Windows Embedded. Each family has its own code base and design. The focus of these comparisons is mainly on the NT family.
Linux is available for many types of CPUs: x86, x64, Itanium, MIPS, PowerPC, ARM, and others. Windows NT is available on x86, x64, and Itanium, although Itanium compatible versions of Windows are only sold as servers and x86 is being phased out[1]. Because of the diversity of supported cpu types, Linux finds applications today in routers, set-top boxes, PDAs and mobile phones as well as in servers and desktops. Windows Embedded has a long history, starting with DOS on POS terminals. Microsoft has based many embedded platforms on the core Windows CE operating system, including AutoPC, Windows Mobile, Mediaroom, Portable Media Center, and many industrial devices and embedded systems.

Thanks for all friends
Have a nice day
