  1. Hi, it depends on different things.
    Price, linux is cheaper than windows server 2008, which is quite cool in my opinion.
    Stability depends completely on the hardware of the machine, if u have hardware thats very linux compatible then it might be more stable.
    Security, any OS can get broken in to sorry.

  2. SECURITY. I am a huge windows person but in web hosting, Linux beats. it is almost impossible to hack into a Linux

  3. If you don’t know the difference , then it probably won’t matter. Linux supports alot of Ecommerce and content management systems that windows doesn’t. There is a thing called “cpanel” that is full of cool features for linux hosting, you can install your website in seconds using cpanel and “Fantastico” which features 1-click install of :
    osCommerce
    Zen Cart
    Cubecart
    Joomla
    Mambo
    Wordpress
    and alot of other stuff that windows hosting probably won’t support.
    look here: http://www.samwilson3d.com
    for a list of Linux hosts that have this feature
