Linux beats Windows at a corporate level
October 29th, 2006
The number of corporations choosing Linux as their main servers’ operating system has increased in the past semester and reported to the same period last year. A year ago, the percentage was 65%, 6 months ago it was close to 67% and today it raised up to 73%. What does that mean? From my point of view, more and more corporate companies are choosing Linux instead of Windows based platforms as it was at the beginning of this decade.
The president of Evans Data, John Andrews said “We continue to see Linux making deeper inroads into the Enterprise space as it matures to handle more critical business workloads,”
Linux-based systems already had an advantage against Windows just because they’re based on GNU and they’re open source. If things continue to evolve like this, very few NT based servers will be out there by the end of this decade ;)

I wondered which should be used for dynamics sites using flash css javascript forms etc.
I was looking at this companies corporate plan and would like to have the option to set up several seperate websites for different customers
assigning each an allotment of space with seperate access by them and allowing me access is this site suitable for my needs or is it as it seems just too good to be true???
