Seven Reasons to Move to Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Selling businesses on the benefits of Linux has been a tough proposition for

| vendor world have done a lot to address these shortcomings, and the inroads 
| gained are plain for all to see.

| at least three reasons why GNU/Linux systems do the job better.

,----[ Quote ]
| The survey indicates that while Windows servers are still leading in this

| 194 respondents, 79% confirmed that they are using Windows servers while
| there were still 38% using Linux. Even the UNIX users were not all that less
| with 25% respondents confirming UNIX deployments in their organizations.
