I need to get used to Unix lingo: in Windows "Server" means "everything you might need". In Unix "Server" means "only what is needed". The latter omits all not needed directly. .....
It's the other way around : a bare (non-expensive) Microsoft server license does not, for example, includes MSSQL ..... or a full swing web server (I'm NOT talking about a the cripled IIS server).
Most Linux (and FreeBSD, and others) based servers use a syntax like this :
apt-get instal program-to-launch-nuck-war-heads
and you'll be able to launch the nukes.
Worlds best (most used) web server (actually, several brands exists) : they are free, scalable from 1 to 1 billion users - the same thing goes for a SQL database - or even better : worlds best mail server : postfix.
Microsoft might offer the same functionality, but I assure you, there will be a price tag.
