What percentage of web servers are Linux-based?
This is difficult to determine. Judging solely from server hardware sales, Linux has only about 30% of the market. However, most high level sites run Linux, and it seems likely that Linux has a much higher market share than is indicated. More importantly, since the majority of Linux distributions are available freely, a large portion of Linux servers are not accounted for in many market share statistics because these stastics are approximated based on license sales. Therefore the very large number of Linux servers that are running on freely distributed licenses are not included in these calculations.
How do businesses use Linux?

Can Logitech web cameras run in Linux?

Is a Windows server better than a Linux server for the web?
In my personal opinion, No, a Linux server is the better answer for the web. I would recommend a windows server only when running asp/.net, and with the introduction of mono (an apache module), Linux machines can run .net (although I've never used this, myself, and it is in its infancy). Linux, in general, has much better thread and memory handling than Windows. In a multi-threaded web server, it should serve you better. Remember, that things like this are always a personal preference type of thing, and the debate between Windows and Linux is fierce. My advice would be to look up benchmarking information for Windows web servers and Linux web servers, and see which would suit your needs.
What is the name of the Linux application that is used to provide web service facilitie?
