I have a Dell Poweredge 2450 server (dual 600 cpus, 2gbs ram, 3 18gbs hdd) and plan to use it to host some simple web sites which will include php pages. Which operating system should I go with? Windows NT Server or Ubuntu 7.04 Server? Any reason for your pick? Thanks.
Windows NT or Ubuntu?
The decision should be based on your ability to get drivers for the Dell running Ubuntu 7.04. Besides, other services that need to run running a web page could be problematical as well.
However, running Ubuntu does solve the spyware and virus crap.
Running Windows NT will be much easier to set up - however - I do not believe Microsoft has supported NT for quite a while.
Good luck with your project!
Windows NT or Ubuntu?
If you are looking for a stable and secure Server, go with Ubuntu 7.04 The reason in my experience is Linux doesn't have the crashing and hanging up problems associated with every thing Microsoft related. It's just a much better system for Servers.
