I need an advice from individuals who are familiar with the security of web servers.
I am using Abyss webserver , Microsoft SQL server 2008 and Visual web developer 2008.
I would like to know which operating system should I choice for Abyss server?
Should be XP pro, Vista, Windows server 2008 or something else?
Security of our application is number propriety. Please, let me know.
Thanks
Heval |

That's quite the list of professional software you've got there! I use a lot of Notepad, PSPad (for syntax highlighting), and Google.
Use whichever OS you think offers the most security. Abyss doesn't have any security flaws in the current version. Your biggest problem isn't your OS - it's PHP and/or your SQL server.
I've been using WinXP Home for several years now and I'm running over 15 hosts. I've never had a problem with security except for the holes I allowed. I had to patch a few of my scripts, but that was purely my fault. I have yet to have a problem with Abyss or WinXP. _________________ Stephen

I would say Server 2003 or 2008 (doesn't really matter). You can get either through dreamspark if you're a student or you could use the trial on S2008. XP is fine though, as long as you lock it down a little. Whichever you choose, keep it updated. _________________ -Blake | New Server :D

its really up to you which OS you use, I am currently using windows vista premium and not had a problem with it, not seen any security issues with it. _________________
