New to this forum..

Just a general question..

We are about to engage into a project with a view to buy a new box.

The programming will be done in PHP. Which would be the best platform to run on the box, Windows or a Linux?

Pro/Cons of each would be good to know..

Thanks in advance...

I will say that the answer depend on you or your team (developers/administrator) expertize in each platform or the ability to learn.
development can be done in any platform, for the server I will prefer a *nix box
