There are just 5 with that other OS. People can have the same benefits that businesses see for servers on their own PCs: reliability, speed, ease of management.

see Hosting Providers sites ordered by OS.

I recommend Debian GNU/Linux. It’s the most popular distribution of GNU/Linux on web servers for good reason. It’s been around a long time and people know it works reliably. I like the huge repository of software useful for client or server. Indeed. I like mixing the two.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
