Ok, I am ready to buy Plesk. Only I don't know what I should run it on. Windows 2003 or Fedora?

I grew up on Windows boxes but I want whatever will be the most reliable and fastest. I can make my way around the Linux environment just fine. Also, my box is going to be in another city once it is set up, so reliability is a must!

The sites that I am hosting have a fair amount of php on them which interfaces to mysql databases. I will have about 30 sites on a P4 3.0 HT with a gig of ram.

So, Windows 2003 or Fedora?

Thanks for the time and the thoughts.

windows or linux is your choice...

i like windows hosting because of:

- asp & asp.net support
- easier to admin

but you need to buy a windows license and a SPLA (service provider license agreement)

linux is cheaper

you should patch a linux server very often because if you wait too long with a important patch.....it's probably already rooted

so make your choice
