   Linux – less used/abused OS that tends to be more secure only in that it is frequently less targeted than a windows box. While that isn’t the only reason, it is a major contributor. This is also free to install and use at your own will. This is a good choice for hosting several language types i.e. php, perl, ruby, j2ee etc.
   Windows – Costs a good bit to run and is prone to every crazy hacker out there. However, it’s a better choice to host your asp.net apps on this environment using IIS.
   If you are looking for web hosting for linux hosting I’d suggest http://www.GotHosting.org which has Cpanel as well as Fantastico Suite (includes wordpress, forums, and tons of other free instantly installed software for your use). You can also host unlimited domains on one account.

   Linux is free, Windows costs $$. So the ISP’s tend to give better deals on Linux. Linux also has a lower overhead in terms of storage, memory and CPU use.

   I think Linux is better. Apache is the server you want.

   Linux servers are far more secure. Uncrackable if the server operator knows what he’s doing
