1. Linux servers are recommended in many instances especially when you
are going to host e-commerce portals and websites containing HTML,
PHP, Perl, and Java script coding.
It would be useful to learn why Linux servers are considered better than
Windows servers.
In following slides, we will have a comparison between Linux and
Windows systems.
We will also try to understand why Linux servers are more advantageous
than windows.

2. Security: Linux systems are considered more secure than
Windows because of following reasons.
•Most of the malware programs such as virus, spyware, trojan, and
phishing ware are not effective on Linux systems; whereas they are
capable to cause significant damage on Windows systems.
•On Windows, malware can damage files, folders, programs, operating
system, and even crash hard disk of the system.
•On Windows, you need to install a robust antivirus to block unwanted
entry of malicious programs; whereas on Linux systems you can work
without worrying about malware.

3. Web Development and Programming:
For web development work, you get better environment on Linux
systems.
Linux is better compatible with programming applications such as
PHP, Perl, Python, JavaScript, and HTML5 in comparison to
Windows.
In fact, most of the programming languages and applications were
built by keeping Linux systems in view. Therefore, Linux systems
are more compatible with the programming apps.

4. Multi-Tasking:
Linux systems allow you to run multiple instances of the
operating system, whereas you do not get any such flexibility on
Windows systems.
With Linux operating system, you get many free software and
applications such as office suite, spreadsheet, presentation,and
others. As Windows is not a free operating system, you need to
pay an annual price to use its license.

5. File System support:
Linux supports wider range of file types than windows.
•File types supported by Linux: Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, Jfs, ReiserFS,
Xfs, Btrfs, FAT, FAT32, NTFS
•File types supported by Windows: FAT, FAT32, NTFS, exFAT

6. Customisation:
•Windows systems do not allow users to customise the operating
system according to their requirements. You cannot make changes in
the coding of the Windows system.
•Linux systems are customisable and developers can mold the systems
according to their requirements. A big section of Linux community is
working on customising the systems for different purposes. Today a
number of customised versions of Linux are available, which are highly
popular among users and developers.

7. Size & memory usage: Linux systems are compact and smaller in
size than Windows. Therefore, Linux OS occupies lesser memory
space.
Booting time: Linux OS loads faster than Windows.
Cost: Linux systems are available under GNU license and one can use
Linux OS freely; whereas you have to pay an annual charge to use
valid license of Windows operating system. As Linux is an open
source platform and hosting companies do not have to pay license
fees for using Linux system, Linux servers are available at cheaper
prices than Windows.
