The debates over this go for days :) My personal response, having tried both, is to say, yes, definitely. There's a thread on Linux vs. Windows hosting here on the forums. Have a search. Also, consider this article on The Register.Quote:

Originally, yes, but they released (at least some of it) as an open standard, which is now maintained by ISO, I believe. Based on this, the Mono project was started, and now provides fairly good support for .NET applications on other platforms.Quote:

Correction: the statistics in my signature are a reason not to use Internet Explorer (6, vs. Firefox 1. I should really update the links).

I'm suprised to see someone who signs off their posts with reasons not to use Microsoft recommending this.
