There's a great rundown on Linux vs NT with the experiences of big US sites running each and the pros and cons in a number of important areas such as scalabilty etc.<br />It's at Webmonkey and worth a read for those still deciding on a host.<br /><br />http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/20/index3a.html?tw=backend<br /><br />And the Apache web server seems to be the most common according to the Netcraft Web Server Survey at<br />http://www.netcraft.com/Survey/<br /><br />Darren.<br /><br />

Thanks darren..<br /><br />Yeah I'm pretty biased towards Linux...I also have rarely seen NT work well with perl scripts...If I was on NT I'd want cold fusion based C++ code..or something like Allaire forums...<br />But I'd love to be wrong and hear that Threads is great on NT..I am after all a WWWThreads geek :)<br /><br />Renee Levant [b]Oracle Web Services[b]<br />renee@oracleweb.net
