FreeBSD vs. Linux vs. Windows 2000 FreeBSD Linux Windows 2000 Reliability FreeBSD is extremely robust. There are numerous testimonials of active servers with uptimes measured in years. The new Soft Updates1 file system optimizes disk I/O for high performance‚ yet still ensures reliability for transaction based applications‚ such as databases.

Mac‚ Linux‚ and Windows Servers Comparison Apple offers only a few options for server hardware‚ and only one option for server software. The hardware I looked at was the Mac Mini with OS X Server. With a relatively low starting price point of $999 that includes the software‚ Apple surprisingly wins the cost category‚ at least when looking at up front costs (Mac Mini With OS X Server Overview‚ n.d.). The Mac Mini hardware includes 2TB of storage space‚ 4GB of Memory‚ and is backed by Apple’s

Linux versus Windows NT Forget the browser wars. This year’s big nerd battle is the server shootout between Linux and Windows NT - and it’s not just a bunch of geeks nit-picking. While both offer more affordable platforms for Web service than in the past‚ Linux and NT are polar opposites on almost every other level. They look different‚ run differently‚ support different software‚ and cost money in different places. So far though‚ most press coverage of the Linux-NT debate has focused on the competing

In comparing Windows Server 2008 to Linux I found myself overwhelmed. Although extremely popular‚ easy to use and install Windows Server 2008 seems like a whole different animal than Linux. I found over 600 “distributions” of Linux some that are not all active and approximately 20 are very popular and in high use. There are no versions that are “Standard”‚ “Ultimate‚ or” Enterprise “ like. Windows Server 2008 has 7 versions from very easy for a single user and very complex for larger enterprise
