What Platform is Your Web Site Running On?

LinuxAs the search engine optimizician I have to deal with Microsoft servers quite often. Even though windows is the most popular operating system for computers, windows servers are not the predominant server used for the world wide web.

I personally like to work with Linux servers. The Linux platform is easier to use. You can create 301 and 302 redirects as well as solving your canonical issues with the addition of a .htaccess file.

Microsoft WindowsA redirect can be accomplished on a Microsoft IIS server by:

You just have to jump through more hoops when you want to do anything on a windows server. Do you know if your site hosted on a Linux or a Windows server?

What Operating System are Your Home and Work Computers Running?

Mac from AppleI am actually using three operating systems in my home and work computers. I use Windows XP, Mac OS X, and a few flavors of Linux on my home and work machines. I basically use Mac for every day use, Windows and Linux to check the rendering of sites I have been working on. I also use the Microsoft platform to run certain applications that haven’t been ported to the Apple platform yet.

The Microsoft Windows platform has it’s own set of problems, not the least of which is the long ……………….. long start up time. I usually try to turn on that machine early and let it run through all its stuff while I am getting work done on my Mac. What operating system(s) are you running on your computers?

Worm Infects Millions of Microsoft Computers

In recent weeks a worm, a malicious software program, has swept through corporate, educational and public computer networks around the world.

Experts say it is the worst infection since the Slammer worm exploded through the Internet in January 2003, and it may have infected as many as nine million personal computers around the world…

Microsoft rushed an emergency patch to defend the Windows operating systems against this vulnerability in October, yet the worm has continued to spread even as the level of warnings has grown in recent weeks. Read more…

Enough said, you now have my operating system preferences let me here about yours.
