&nbsp; &nbsp; Despite Windows and Linux, you might want to check out Sun promotion for it's Solaris for x86 machine. &nbsp;If you happens to be hanging around Sun Workstation, then you might want to check it out. &nbsp;The price is relatively cheap, and very easy to configure. &nbsp;<br />

General recommendations about selecting Linux version

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
