Pure power, no fuss...There is no single operating system called "Unix". "Unix" refers a family of operating systems that support a certain interface. Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X are among the operating systems that one might call "Unix".
Linux is even more popular then Unix, especially since it has quite an advanced GUI these days, so you can configure and maintain several events at once time at one screen (multitasking) while keeping the resources for this GUI very, very low...

- Windows Server 8 - Without ANY GUI - Ok, I can live with that, for people who want to get 99,99% of their CPU power for performance.
- Windows Server 8 - With the METRO interface - ... W T F ...
No, you can't uninstall this tablet OS interface on your server, you HAVE to use it, consuming at least 5% ~ 10% of your CPU resources... WHY OH WHY... -.-
[citation needed] for those numbers.
Devil Wrote:Why can't a server OS not have that basic GUI like windows NT always had? Which was excellent for multitasking and configuring server applications while hardly using any kind of resources?Again, [citation needed] for the Windows Server 8 GUI using more resources than previous versions.
Devil Wrote:All I can say... I guess Linux will become even more popular now!
Riiiiight, companies using Windows Server will migrate their infrastructure and applications (including those ASP and ASP.NET websites) just because of a Metro-looking UI.
Windows Server getting a command line mode is not what I would call "nobifying".
