Foe web hosting you really won't see the difference.between Linux+Apache and FreeBSD+Apache. Everything will seem the same to you. When you get inside the shell via ssh or telnet they will be a little different, but if you are just FTPing you'll never know the difference. FreeBSD is suppose to be a superbly stable OS and a fantastic memory manager. I'd run away from the NT box.

Thanks, LM. No penguin, but as long as it's the same and the Unix scripts will work it's the clear choice.

As a "casual user", you'll find that almost any two unix based systems by different manufacturers are much more compatible to each other than any two Windows systems by one single manufacturer... ;) In fact, this impression will get even stronger when you start programming for those boxes. The main differences will surface on a system administration level, where many configuration files either have a different format, or are located in different places.
