As you point out, Drupal works on either. However, it's much easier to deal with Drupal on a *nix (in this case, Linux) server since it's really built for LAMP users; from cron to tar files. If you're going to run Drupal, it may be better to use Linux because of the continuity of training. Right now, I have a client building a Linux server to run Drupal, even though they are presently running an Apache build on Windows (the Saint, from Germany).

Granted, I have personal bias to Linux, but I think Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (LAMP) is the way to go.

Hello Everyone,

I am currently in the decision making process of whether to use Drupal on a Microsoft server or on a Linux server.

The arguments FOR Microsoft are: (well, for us, it's free - another org is going to host for us, and Drupal can be installed on it)

The arguments AGAINST Microsoft are: that will mean we go to another host (paid) and that PHP and MySql run differntly on it.

Does anyone have any other input that could help in the decision making process? Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated...
