nanobot Posted September 28, 2010 CID Share Posted September 28, 2010 I don't know which to go with. Anyone have any opinions? On one hand, Windows 7 has more user oriented features, but Server 2008 is more useful for me. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 28, 2010 CID Share Posted September 28, 2010 What are you actually using the computer for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted September 29, 2010 Author CID Share Posted September 29, 2010 Well, it's going to be a development computer for my Visual Studio stuff, as well as for school work, and I plan to use it to administrate the rest of the computers here. (There are only 6. Not a big deal.) And I also use it for misc other stuff. I just don't know if IIS is really worth it?

You couldn't pay me enough to use it. If your using it for development put apache on it and call it a day. I have always had problems with IIS and have friends asking me how to fix things in it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 29, 2010 CID Share Posted September 29, 2010 Choices are many ebrown , try centOS , or SME server , any unix server you can get your hands on , thats been updated in the last 5 years will do the trick. Unless of course you must have windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, I will go with Windows 7 Pro then. Since I currently use Vista and I don't use IIS on it, so I will go with Apache then. (As my current setup is Apache, PHP and MySQL. ) Choices are many ebrown , try centOS , or SME server , any unix server you can get your hands on , thats been updated in the last 5 years will do the trick. Unless of course you must have windows. Windows is unfortunately, necessary, as I do Visual Studio which is Windows Only.

nanobot Posted October 9, 2010 Author CID Share Posted October 9, 2010 Thanks for the opinions guys. I ended up going with Windows 7, as since IIS sucks, I may as well do something fun with my PC. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
