Linux is Open-source and you may install it as a operating system.

The best suggestion here is opt for slots which are as low as $2.00 or so. There are many game hosting provider who can provide you with the service.

However, Bodhost will also soon be providing them. ;)

So wait and watch...

Well, Windows can be considered a better operating system when compared to gaming practices. However, it depends also on which game he is about to run on the server.

There are many factors that are variant around these areas.

Linux is good for game servers, it is more efficient and needs less rebooting. Windows is better for playing the games, but if you want to run a server, Linux is the way to go.
