...and then you get no replies! No one must have any opinions!

How secure do you need to be? The United States Government uses both of these products for their servers, so it must be pretty secure, right? The key is, they both have the abilityto be secure if you are willing to devote the time to keep up on new developments and install the patches. I don't think either one of these products is secure when they are first installed.

Which is easier to administer?
Which one will you be able to hire administrators to manage?
Which one is more easily scaled? Or, are you just doing a home network?

I would get on the web and do some research of people who have used both products and have written reviews on this topic. I just typed this because I saw no one had answered you.
