I disagree because I think there's a lot more important things to a server than those tools. What I want from a server is versatility. I want to learn one server OS and use it for all of my server needs (for the most part). I can't do that with Windows Server because it's not a good platform for non-Microsoft technologies.
- snoman 11y agoBy that logic, wouldn't most/all server OS' be considered not very good? Linux isn't really a good platform for Microsoft technologies...
- exelius 11y agoIf all you plan to do is develop applications for the web, then go for Linux. If you ever plan to step foot into corporate IT, you're going to have to deal with Windows because Linux is a bad platform for Microsoft technologies -- and most corporate IT departments exist to deliver Microsoft technologies to end users. Exchange, Outlook, Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Sharepoint, etc. are the standard in the corporate world, and there really aren't any other applications that measure up.
