    unless you need to run asp or run apps from the remote desktop, it is best to go for a linux server. Nothing better than centos. But you could try ubuntu as its easier to mnage.

    Yes, If you properly setup everything. follow most common things.

    * Smartly configure File permissions
    * Use Alphanumeric Passwords
    * Always keep your os Updated with latest Patches.

    However, you don't know anything about Linux better hire someone to do the job for you.

    “That can’t be done in Linux unless you have WINE (and that doesn’t really work either).”
    Apparently your knowledge of Linux is far below basic comprehension. You don’t deserve the right to post here.
