It's most likely due to a firewall or load balancer. For example, they could have a linux router, which would get detected as a linux machine, that forwards the ports inwards to a windows box running IIS. This would detect the firewall as windows, and the forwarded webserver as IIS. It could

They could be modifying the Server name to misdirect folks with malicious intent to attempt Windows 2000 exploits against a Linux box, making the identification and protection against those exploits easier for firewalls and IDS systems. Here is a related article on Web server anonymization

Although it might be possible to do that (using Wine, maybe) I don't think it's the case. I am not sure how does Netcraft perform its analisys, but it is possible to change characteristics of a machine in such a way that a Linux box will look like a Cisco Router for programs that performs

Yes and no. We used to have a load balancing cluster of Windows 2000 IIS servers behind caching (proxy) servers running Linux and caching software from Inktomi. This setup also showed up in Netcraft as IIS5.0 on Linux, although it obviously wasn't entirely correct... I suspect

You cant trust in everything you see. You can fake it very very easy. In apache, for example, if you change the config file httpd.h (i`m not sure if the name is correct) you can change the server name for whatever you want. It seens to be only a joke from the sys admin from there. see you On

This really isn't much of a security question-- it'd be hard to say if running IIS under Wine would make your system a major security hole waiting to gape even wider-- or if IIS will run under Wine at all. Given that I've run Quake II in software mode using Project Odin for OS/2, I'm less likely
