Operating Systems

Unix and Windows NT are the two main operating systems on which web servers are run. Unix dates back several decades and is most widely used, but NT is winning over many converts. Both operating systems have their advantages. Unix's age ensures stability and the availability of a wide range of software. NT is easier to use which means sites are often (but not always) more secure, but software is usually more expensive.
