When keeping in mind hackers, spyware, and viruses, use Linux. Spyware and viruses find Linux a hostile environment. Hackers, that is a matter of keeping your Linux security up to date and your passwords current. There are distros of Linux created with security in mind. Windows is a bit of a joke.

I agree with everybody. You should go for Linux. Or you should try OpenBSD. I suggest that either you use Window$ or Linux, you must have a firewall.

i think linux box is better... its very much secure against hackers and viruses... also there is lot of flexibility... possibilities are limitless with linux if you have the right knowledge..

Well its LINUX no doubt about it. But generally Solaris is best for the purpose.
