The funny thing is that their server is probably running on Linux.
they aren't all. vast majority is Windows Server and IBM.
edit: because people seem confused. I'm talking about Pearson directly, not global OS stats.
chill tf out Linux weebs. I'm one of you.
Windows has a laughable market share when it comes to webservers.
I'm talking specifics, not globally.
Nearly all of my daughters sites she visited in college were nix servers. The exception being one administration machine she used for her payroll access as a RA.
By "nix" do you actually mean Nix, or do you mean "*nix" as any Unix derivative?
Guess.
Lol what? Linux servers are still dominant in market share.
Pearson directly, not globally.
That makes more sense. Thank you for the context.
Guess what most IBM big irons are running nowadays?
Unix
Well, AIX (one of IBMs UNIX variants) is old, and, AFAIK more or less legacy stuff. The other is RHEL, which is s Linux.
Dust? (but really its not Linux or windows anyway)
z/OS
For closed and proprietary stuff, and things that still run on FORTRAN and COBOL, yes. But about anything running a web frontend, it's Linux (RHEL).
AIX (Unix), Windows, Powervm?
Windows? On a mainframe? Microsoft may be ambicious, but that is a few number to big for them.
RHEL, since they bought red hat.
That is both laughably wrong, and immediately verifiable as false. As far as server marketshare goes, Linux leads the pack with 62.7%.
