I want to know which want do you prefer for a Dedicated server... Yeah in 2 months I'll get a dedicated server but I don't know which OS to choose.
I use exec command from PHP to run .exe files... (like image converter, video converter) but I'm sure I can find that for Linux too... I don't know Linux very well, but I use Windows every day so maybe it will be easier for me?
Help me choose, please!
Thanks!
Either Linux or Windows is a good choice. Ultimately, though, the choice should come down to you or your sys admins ability to support your choice. The old adage about the TCO being in support is a fact.
Most of the time/cost is spent supporting the hardware/software and that should be the focal point of whatever decision you make. Both OSes are more than capable of running a dedicated server. Choosing an OS that you or your staff has no experience with is a good recipe for disaster and frustration, especially in the short term.
