Windows Stable, words not see togather much. I have a linux server and it runs fine. I would suggest not using fedora core. The easyest one to have i would thing to be ubuntu. I have never had server crash or had to restart the server. But, im a linux fan!!

Well, Fendora Core is a ok linux distro. But allthough it's not the most stable and it have had some cases on using more RAM than it has to. (mutch like windows Toungue ) I am running 3 Linux and 1 windows server at home. (2 of the linux servers are file server, and the windows one was.) What I have experienced is that in windows 2003, it starts eating your ram, I have been faced with afther 1-2 months windows had eaten 60% of my ram ( I have 2048) On my linux servers on the other hand, I have had them online for 136 Days, 96 Days and 469 Days, and they still havent began eating my ram. So personaly I perfer linux, But yet again, I am a linux fan aswell.

(I run SLACKWARE)
Deep into the darkness. Pearing long I stod there, wondering, fearing, doubting.
