Yes, people usually do run Linux servers without a GUI. What I meant was that you can use Windows *Server Core or Nano* to avoid the Windows GUI, thus not having to use Linux to get those benefits.
As someone else said, it depends on what the application is as to what platform is more appropriate. I think that’s the real answer. *From:* listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] *On Behalf Of *Rene de Haas *Sent:* Thursday, June 1, 2017 6:49 PM *To:* ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com *Subject:* RE: [NTSysADM] What is the argument for Windows Server Core/NanoServer over Linux?

Hey all, Just had to ask this one. I’m really curious because I’ve heard the argument, well, if you’re going to run server Core, why not just use linux? What can you say to make the conversation worthwhile and not just arguing preferences? Or is that really what it’s all about these days? Iv’e been wondering what the people who have been on both sides might say.
