GNU/linux/apache 1, microsoft/iis 0

Published April 18th, 2006 in Free Software/Open Source.

A picture speaks a thousand words. This article has 2 images that describe “a complete map of the system calls that occur when a web server serves up a single page of html with a single picture - the same page and picture”.

Just compare the two images, and you will instantly understand why GNU/linux/apache is more secure than windows/iis. You will also understand why GNU/linux is faster and more stable than windows - it’s just better engineered.

The microsoft/iis image really reminds me of … spaghetti code.
