In general, the server operating system includes server-specific functions and management tools, security and stability have more stringent requirements, relatively speaking, the speed is a bit slow. Meanwhile server system also supports special hardware. The average user is no professional system function, there is no need, on the contrary will add software features for individual users and media management.
Server system with common user operating system differences:
1, the stability of performance, server operating system is much higher than individual users;
2, in the document management or web application, the server can better be effective;
3, on the graph and entertainment, the personal user operating system than the server has a better efficacy;
4, security of the server operating system and tunability than a consumer operating system high;
The following night the cloud server network give you expand on the difference between different systems:
There are a lot of server operating systems, such as: Windows, linux and UNIX, each operating system can be divided into different versions, which also makes a lot of novice users do not know what a good choice. So we need more to understand some common operating systems, and some commonly used version of the server. Here we give explain the difference between frequently used server operating system.
The difference between the Windows operating system
Windows 32, 64 bits are commonly used in Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 four versions.
(1) the difference between 32 and 64
The reason why a lot of people concerned about the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit, 32-bit systems because only play up to 4G of memory effect, larger than 4G of memory if the server is installed, 32-bit operating system can not make better use of greater than 4G that utility part of the memory, if your site is selected memory less than 4G or little late for memory requirements, recommended to choose 32.
The difference between Windows (2) Windows 2003 and in 2008
Windows 2003 comes with iis6, is the mainstream of the server operating system, and as such, Windows 2003 security and stability is being questioned.
Windows 2008 comes with iis7, more powerful features, the application is relatively new, relatively more secure and more efficient Windows 2003, but it is more difficult to learn.
The difference between the Linux operating system
centos centos 5.6 and 6.4 the difference between
Centos6.4 relative to the 5.6 has some improvements, such as: a comprehensive power management capabilities, improved performance, scalability, security improvements and new characteristics. centos centos 5.6 and 6.4 the difference is that the kernel version is not the same, the basic version of the software is not the same.
The difference between Windows and Linux
Mainly reflected in the performance: Windows focus on the graphical user interface, a lot of things can be done by the click of the mouse; and focus on the Linux command, the command needs to complete a variety of operations. In contrast, because the windows have a lot of graphics, it takes up a lot of hardware performance, so linux run much faster than the windows in the same configuration.
