Have you ever used Linux ? If you have you would not be asking me this question !

I can give you over a 100 reasons to choose Linux over say, NT, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Netware.

We have all of these OSes except for Netware at work. But we prefer to use Linux. Becasue its faster (more than twice as fast as Solaris on same machine, according to BYTE benchmark), more efficient, much more stable (personal experience), much more secure (known security bugs get fixed on Linux first before on any other platform), better driver support, better and much more powerful software packaging system, easy and powerful administation and installation ....

Now please give me one reason why you would NOT use Linux. If you have not used Linux yourself then you are not qualified to answer. Infact if you have not used Linux then you should keep yourself from commenting on it, just to save yourself from humiliation. I usually dont talk about stuff that I know nothing about.
