Why do you use linux?

I use linux as a database server at work because it is free and has all the things I need built in to properly manage my UNIX database server..It also doesn't get infected by all the silly windows virus..

1. it's free and all the programs you need are open source
2. runs lightening fast. ubuntu is so much faster than my windows.
3. fully customizable and i have full control over my system
4. no viruses!

I use Linux because certain apps run better specific to Linux. I use Windows because certain apps run better on Windows. Don't have a problem with either. I avoid using a hammer as a screwdriver. Pick your tools and use them.

of course your right

1. *NIX is superior simply because it's open source
2. It runs on just about any hardware
3. It's not a resource hog
4. ..........Do i aboslutely need one more?

I use linux
simple
easy
full control

I'm using linux for security reason

I prefer linux because it is the very customisable Operating system one and everything works on CGI here. It's the relevant one as per my concern.

I use because of its security.

Mint is very easy to navigate along with having far less headaches.
