Do you have a specific preference between Windows or Linux Ubuntu Server Operating System?

Simple and to the point. How hard would the transition be, I wonder.

If you don't have much command line experience in Linux, you will be on google a lot. I found that being able to do everything I needed without moving my hand over to a mouse was great. There's no fancy graphics to look at but it's a clean efficient way of running a server.

Any purpose. I'm asking to hear from the RP community. Also, the more questions I ask like this, the easier it is to network with Veterans in the same field.

For me it depends one what I would use it for. I use Windows for everyday PC needs and some security, Linux I use for most of my security tools (I prefer Red Hat over Ubuntu though). When it comes to servers, this depends on what you intend to serve.

Yeah, I'm just asking about servers.

When it comes to servers, Linux has always proven to be more stable and they required fewer reboots/downtime. For personal use though, I've given up on the tinkering as I am older and I have a wife and kids at home. It's already enough work to serve as their 24 hr tech support. Still, at work I use both OS types on a regular basis. But I do so virtually. The only servers I create are security related (Nessus, backdoors, etc...) which do not require a significant length of service.

Particular reason ?
