Hello!

With server login the SQL-Server manages user authentication internally. 
Domains logins, Windows manages user authentication and the server relies on 
Windows logins.

Not sure if either is more secure or not, but domain logins leaves you with 
one place to manage logins/passwords rather than two. On the other hand, most 
installations I know of have a single or a few database logins rather than 
one per user.

I've not managed to get domain logins to work with FreeTDS myself and afaik 
the code is quite new and untested.
