Theres a logical reason all the major webites on the net run on Linux=20
servers (Google, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon).
People spout this crap about MS servers being easy to use and Linux=20
being complex.

1. Linux is no where near as complex as Windows under the hood. Id=20
rather edit a Linux text config file than the Windows registry any day.=20
Furthermore a command line interface stays the same pretty much, the=20
Windows GUI moves things around from one release to the next.

2. If you dont know how to delve under the hood when things go wrong=20
(either on linux or windows) and have to have a point & click gui  then=20
you shouldnt be left in charge of a mission critical server in the first=20
place whatever os its running cos something WILL go wrong and you'll be=20
screwed.
