Hi there,
I am about to put a site on the internet and I thought of putting it on a Linux Server (as I have some extra bonuses like Free Mysql database). Currently Im coding on a Windows System, and I would like to know if any behavior is different on Linux, like that some PHP code works diferent on Linux or if I need to have some knowledges to change certain options or administrate the site.
Thanks in advance.

PS: The site consists of HTML and PHP (maybe later I add some JavaScript but I still don't know anything of it).

The only difference upon win32 and linux on php, is that you need to specify a mail server in a windows php.ini, and not on a linux system.

Although, I've seen apache crashes on windows, that where not happening on linux, but this could have been my windows box...

But, on mysql, there si 1:
The tables name are case sensitive.
Mysql rely on a file structure when you create the tables. On window, even if they are displayed as mixed case, the path name is case insentitive. It means that c:\test\thing.txt point to the same file than c:\TeSt\ThIng.txt.
Not on linux...

So, even if you define your tables like "create table userName", on windows, when you export (dump) them, you will see "username" in the exported file.
If you import them back on a linux server, you will have errors, as the "userName" table is not equals to "username".

But otherwise that, there are no differences that I'm aware of.

In general, your desktop operating system shouldn't really affect your choice of server, since they they are fairly unrelated and issues that will affect you are very minor if at all.

Thanks about that info, the problem with case-sensivity shouldn't apply in this case, thanks on warning me on this, might come handy somewhen. I'm pretty much used on writing case-sensitive because I already set myself some writing rules.

You'll be better of if you buy some used SUN-Cobalt RAQ4 or RAQ550
on eBay so you can play around and learn Linux on Linux based server
