If you like I will let you take one of my servers for a test drive for a week to see how you like a Linux machine.
Thanks I may take you up on the offer. But as I said I got about a year to go for it to happen. And I have a lot of questions on the difference between IIS and Linux/Apache.
I will nag you when I get closer to deciding.
A test drive would be the best option. I am not aware of anyone that offers that. So that already says something in your benifit.
