I would STRONGLY advise AGAINST microcrap software. It is NOT suitable for
server use. Yes, on the desktop for playing video games and check your
email, it is fine. But for anything serious (server use, high performance
computing) use Linux or BSD! Linux/BSD will NOT fail you, it's free and
open source, extremely stable, rock solid in design, and built from the
ground up with security in mind.

Stay away from microcrap!
