Linux Versus Windows NT

Linux and Windows NT forget the browser war. This year's big geek fight is a server gun battle between Linux and Windows NT - and that is not just a geek gathering. Both offer a more affordable web service platform than before, but Linux and NT are biased at almost all other levels. They look different, run in different ways, support different software, and spend money in different places. So far, most of the news articles on Linux-NT debates focus on competing business models and there is little information on which operating system to use.

Taste: There are many kinds of Windows and Linux. Windows has two main lines, "Win9x" consisting of Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, and Me, and "NT class" consists of Windows NT, 2000, and XP. The style of Linux is called release (it may be abbreviated until release). All versions of Windows come from Microsoft and the various Linux distributions come from the graphical user interface of various companies (Red Hat, Caldera, Mandrake). Both Linux and Windows provide GUI and command line interface. The Windows GUI has been changed from Windows 1 to Windows 95 (large), Windows 2000 (slight) to Windows XP (very large). Windows XP is the first version of Windows that allows you to select a GUI. It can be used with the new GUI or Windows 2000 and Windows 9x. Linux usually provides two GUIs, KDE and Gnome.

The most obvious difference between NT and Linux is that NT is trying to incorporate the familiar Windows graphical user interface into the server environment. Ideally, webmasters can maintain NT (and its bundled Web server, Microsoft Internet Information Server, also known as IIS) by mainly pointing and clicking. NT also bundles a set of Microsoft proprietary site development tools. On the other hand, Linux is based on the long-changing Unix command line culture tradition. Learning Unix from the beginning is more difficult (or at least difficult) than learning a Windows system, but UNIX users who have surmounted the initial learning curve have the pleasure of trying to do the same work at the same job It rarely to express. Windows environment When your local system administrator (system administrator) has to get up from his Linux workstation to repair your PC you will observe "Windows anger"
