That’s the difficulty I’m having; currently, I’m the only one in my group who sees any benefit to the ASP.net platform, for instance (I’m a DNNizen, and trying to rise in prominence in that community, for example). Why run ASP.NET when you can run Wordpress, they say. Why run IIS when PHP was born on Apache, they say. The other issue I have is that when dealing with creatures of habbit, it’s hard to get people to look at current stats. I tend to use what works, not what the market tells me I should, for the most part. Does it have to do with what you were brought up with? Plus because Core and Nano are new; so I think in my case the issue is getting people who are used to one thing to get used to another. There’s that saying, use the right tool for the job, so how to ensure that you choose the right one when both can perform equally well? I’m an explorer, so it’s easy for me to say, let’s try something new and fun.

Yes, people usually do run Linux servers without a GUI. What I meant was that you can use Windows Server Core or Nano to avoid the Windows GUI, thus not having to use Linux to get those benefits. As someone else said, it depends on what the application is as to what platform is more appropriate. I think that’s the real answer.

Moss Sent: Thursday, June 1, 2017 4:34 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] What is the argument for Windows Server Core/NanoServer over Linux? Hey all, Just had to ask this one. I’m really curious because I’ve heard the argument, well, if you’re going to run server Core, why not just use linux? What can you say to make the conversation worthwhile and not just arguing preferences? Or is that really what it’s all about these days? Iv’e been wondering what the people who have been on both sides might say.
