Linux has today become a strategic, efficient and reliable platform for business systems at many small, medium to big companies. A larger percentage of servers powering the Internet run on a Linux-based operating system.

There are some of the major reasons why I prefer Linux servers over Windows.

1. Free and Open Source

2. Stability and Reliability

3. Security

4. Flexibility

5. Hardware Support

6. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Maintenance"the total cost of owning and maintaining a Linux server is lower compared to a Windows server, in terms of licensing fees, software/hardware purchase and maintenance costs, system support services and administrative costs"
