Linux or Windows based web server?

by srvctec . Updated 22 years, 1 month ago

I’m in charge of selecting a web and email server for our small business with less than 30 PCs and Macs. I was going to get a Toshiba Magnia SG20 or SG30 but was told by my sales rep at CDW that Toshiba just quit making servers. If I go with one of these, we will be in the same boat we are in now which is: having a server with limited or non-existent support either now or in the near future (we currently have a Netwinder Linux based web/email server with no support).

Does anyone have any input on which server is best to get or if Windows vs. Linux is more/less secure. The powers that be want to keep the price in the less than $2000 range, preferably in the $1500 range. The reason we have Linux based is because of security (this may or may not be a valid reason).

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
