    You know... there is a version of Apache for Windows... that argument isn't very valid. Yep, I know. There's Apache, MySQL and PHP for Windows. And then the question is why, if you're running any of those on Windows, why not run them on the platform type they were written for? Why would anyone run Apache, MySQL, PHP and Windows? It just doesn't make sense. Unless the person running it is too scared to get involved in Linux.

    Yeah but....
    When someone comes to me and says:
    "Windows did ........ last night, and really pissed me off - I'd like to give that Linux a try - where can I get it from?", it's handy to give them the 3 RedHat ISOs, hand it to them, and say "Boot from the CD".
    No dodgy 6 floppy Debian installs, no faffing around with downloading stages for Gentoo (although it's my fav distro for anyone that knows about Linux). Just let RedHats very friendly installer hold their hand all the way through, ask them all the right questions, set up their XFree86, and network cards etc.

    And that, my friends, is why people think Linux == Redhat, and not SuSE. SuSE might be great. I don't know - I've never used it. Gentoo 1st, RedHat 2nd, Debian for old slow machines 3rd in my book. Flame away Debian fans :)

    Fair point. But most stuff that finds its way into my networks is stuff that I've discovered, learnt well, and grown to trust at home first. Why would I try out a distro on a server at work that I've never used before?

    If you can't download an ISO, that instantly rules out a large chunk of the potential users. And I don't mean some run from CD wierdness - if I want that I'll use Knoppix.

    Good lord. Have you tried out, or even heard of, kernel security patches? www.grsecurity.com, www.lids.org, and the selinux stuff that the NSA is helping out with to name a few. I have. Please, for the sake of your IPv6consultancy reputation, stop digging yourself a hole.

    What? Did you even try it out? root is root because it's uid 0, not because it's called root. SSH in, try it out, and shut up with stupid comments until you know more.

    Erm, it's the best equivalent. Both allow you full access to all the functions of both OSs. You think that ssh as root is in someway more secure than running a full X session? (Apart from being able to snoop on the X session)

    No I'm not clueless.

    Internet conencted Linux versus Windows servers? I'd say there were more Linux ones.

    I started off admining Windows. I was good at it. Then I discovered Linux, and started getting interested in it.

    I don't write code as shell scripts work well in most situations. And if I did, it would be with ssh, vi, and gcc.

    As for securing your Windows boxes, I'll always admit it is possible to secure them enough. Keeping them secured is a full time job though. When was the last time that a release version of Apache allowed someone on the net to run commands on the webserver? What about those ../../../cmd.exe exploits in IIS? That's just the lamest thing ever. I suggest you sign up to NTBugtraq, and understand why some of us aren't exactly singing Windows' praises.

    Linux is a character in Charlie Brown? I don't know why you'd say that. Lihnux doesn't sound like Lienus at all. It could only be confusing if you say it wrong.
