Not even close to Bill Nye, I try to check my facts when I can.

For more than you wanted to know, try wikipedia.

 

And for fun with error handlers: http://www.gartnerreports.com/

Silly but it still makes me smile every time I see it.

not even that. A 404 implies a webserver and OS are up to service the 404 page. If windows did (not) run the internet you would be getting a load of unknown host locally generated pages

so does that mean if i (smoke) a crack rock, then i don't smoke crack rock? did you just hear the rofl copters start up???

 

No, I think he meant that if Windows ran the Internet, the Internet wouldn't run, so you wouldn't be able to say that Windows ran the Internet. In which case you would never see a 404.

EXactly! a 404 page error is still sent by the webserver. So if the webserver is down how can it be sent

If you want UNIX you could consider something like FreeBSD, it's supposed to be more secure and stable than most Linux distributions and is quite popular as a server.
