As far as I know it doesn't matter what platform you run the server on, it
is the integrity of the web serving software. I think you need to be
looking at what software you want to run and then pick your hardware.
Most servers are cross compatible over different platforms. (Except
Microsoft, unless you count NT running on MIPS and ALPHA.) :)
On the second question, my provider offers logging of this information, IF
it exists. On my logs I don't get any name information. I think it relies
entirely on the browser end and how the user set it up and whether they
set it up with a name or email. (Can someone else clarify this?)

Hello:
Where can I find the material which compares the degree of security in
setting up a web server among PC, Mac, and Unix machine?
I believe someone must have already studied this subject long time ago.
Please point me to the place where I can find an article or mail to read.
Also: IS there a way to find out who(account name) is using the brower
to brows your web page? From the log file of our web server I
could only find the machine name/IP address of the client. But
is there a way to record the user's name to our log file?
