There's a great rundown on Linux vs NT with the experiences of big US sites running each and the pros and cons in a number of important areas such as scalabilty etc.
It's at Webmonkey and worth a read for those still deciding on a host.

And the Apache web server seems to be the most common according to the Netcraft Web Server Survey at

Thanks darren..

Yeah I'm pretty biased towards Linux...I also have rarely seen NT work well with perl scripts...If I was on NT I'd want cold fusion based C++ code..or something like Allaire forums...
But I'd love to be wrong and hear that Threads is great on NT..I am after all a WWWThreads geek :)
