drivers and every day software /etc is tough to come by for the shit i have, which is why i use windows. Fuck a mac and its $5k price tag and no right mouse button....

that said, HS runs on linux. i would never host a website on windows. too costly (licenses) and frankly, it's not better or more stable, so why pay for it?

I don't really recommend anything else for beginners. I'd wait a few days if you get ubuntu because the new version is releasing soon.
