Although I am not currently running on the Linux platform, I have always found it to be very intuitive, secure, and efficient. phpMyAdmin is a straightforward and intuitive interface that makes database creation and management extremely simple. The Apache webserver/MySQL combination is highly efficient as it does not use a lot of resources to run. For that reason, I consider it to be lightweight and faster than some of the other options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not everyone has access to a Linux server, so the casual user misses out on the benefits of using one. Although I have no issues with Windows servers, Linux would be my preference whenever available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
