I might also add that if you need other Internet services, like FTP,
DNS, mail, mailing lists, etc, NT just plain sucks (no MS bashing
needed). You have to buy more software to do it right, configure it
all, and it starts to suck time like a vacuum.
If ALL you are doing is running the web server, NT can be okay. If you
need to provide any kind of supporting services at the same cost factor,
Linux/Unix is the way to go.
