Is My Webserver Running on an NT or a Unix Box?
Does anyone know a quick way to tell whether the server that runs our company webpage is running on a Windows NT or a Unix box? The URL is www.peluke.com.
I turn to my friends at Visorcentral in lieu of waiting hours/days for a response to my simple question.

Solaris AFAIK is pretty simliar to UNIX, and Linux can be installed on that hardware

Solaris is a flavor of Unix, so it's not only similar, it _is_ Unix. It runs on both Sparc and Intel processors.

You're not gonna get the language just by knowing what OS your server is running. You need to find out what languages are installed. Almost every server has Perl (which us what most CGI scripts are written in). What language is your form processing script written in?
