Python/IronPython is a multi-paradigm programming language. Powershell is a
scripting language to work inside the Powershell command line shell. They
both serve their purpose, but there are innumerable advantages to using a
programming language like Python/IronPython depending on what you want to
do.

Controlling a Linux server is a very vague usage so I can't speak to that
specific topic, so this doesn't really answer much. As far as working on any
platform, IronPython works on Windows along with platforms which run Mono
(Linux included), which may suit you.
