This clearly won't work for you since you couldn't find your way to redhat's website but for everyone else it works.

No a server using a zfs pool and base bsd or linux is fast.

Microsoft charges out the ass for client licenses because they generally include features from Win10 Pro but you can use them for Citrix/Windows Terminal Servers so companies being cheap can have clients use their own PCs rather than company issued hardware or use thin clients where it's easier to keep the config in order.

>>60199655
SLES/RHEL are huge in the enterprise now for most servers but there are some enterprises that either prefer WIndows servers (yes, they do exist) or need a certain number of Windows Servers for certain applications. Applications that are only Windows/MSSQL compatible are one reason, use for thin clients/Citrix is another.

>>60207530
Dreamspark stuff can be used for whatever you want unless you are making money off of it.

It's a fact you dip

>>60211923
Last time I saw a survey 50% of enterprise servers were Windows Server, slightly less Linux. Indeed, my company uses only Windows Server although I've asked them into looking at moving to Linux and. Net Core if it has matured enough.

>>60211985
Read. "Your Subscription will provide you and your Authorized Users with access to certain Subscription Benefits expressly intended to support your education, teaching, non-commercial research, or efforts to design, develop, test, and demonstrate software applications for the above purposes."

Copyright includes the ability to decide what uses are and are not permissible when you license your intellectual property.

>>60212024
It depends on what the servers are being used for. With Exchange Servers, Lync/Skype for Business Servers, Active Directory, etc. you really don't have a choice. So most companies will run Windows to some degree.

If a company uses Citrix/WTS for their employees/contractors/partners to access their environment, then you NEED Windows servers to run those.

If you're running enterprise applications then it's the choice of the customer for most products. Most popular OS + DB combo for my company's software was AIX + Oracle for a long time, followed by AIX + DB2 LUW. Linux has now massively increased in popularity, and Windows + MSSQL has been on the decline for a while.

Dreamspark gives you access to full OS versions, 'education' means full usage without making money. You can put web sites on them and do whatever else you want.

Considering your licenses are still valid for the same shit even after you are done with school, prove me wrong without copy pasting the tos and acting like a lawyer

>>60212294
>Considering your licenses are still valid for the same shit even after you are done with school
Consider, for example, that the Windows Student Use Benefit program exists, which explicitly states that one of the key parts of it is that the license can be used even after graduation.

Additionally, DRM is not necessary to dictate the terms in licensing. You can violate the Imagine terms all you want and still be wrong, even if Microsoft doesn't watch everything you do or revoke the keys because they don't know how long you're in the instituation.

Protip: They don't show up in a study that crawls public facing websites, because for every small company website running on Apache, there's an Active Directory, Exchange, and SQL Server (or 20) sitting inside their firewall.

This is just ridiculous. I can see MAYBE $100-$200. MAYBE. But Windows as it stands, even server editions, it's just too insecure and too much of a hassle to work with.
