Linux or Windows for Web Hosting

[Domo]

Just looking at tsohost for hosting and they strongly suggest using Linux over Windows.

I've not done much with PHP but I'm just wondeing how easy it is to create web forms using PHP and if there are any other advantages using Linux over Windows.

I do some web stuff here (though mainly design using Abobe CS), and I have created the occassional form using ASP and CDONTS.

Just wondering what others choose and why.

I've done a little homework and Spunkey's on the money. It's simply to do with cost. Nippynoo - you're right, choosing Windows over Linux gives you more choice than going with Linux (combination of ASP etc along with PHP5).

The Linux platform is aimed towards those starting out or not requiring complex web sites (hosted apps etc).

Thanks for your advice guys - hopefully this thread might benefit others stuck making a decision!
