...
I use it because its stable it does what I want.
I also use it because its a playground for me I have servers running the same software as my home pc.
I use it because it's dumb for a real admin to spend thousands of dollars on tools that run on windows, when the Linux based tools do the same thing, have more options, and cost nothing...
Oh, when I say thousands of dollars, I actually mean some half a million dollars a year on support licenses annually for these products, since their Windows Admins don't bother asking the Unix admins for help to implement a *free* solution with a maybe small support license cost that does the *exact* same functions or even better..

I miss the days of random nut '03
Click for more activation options, then activate by telephone. Run the keygen.if I call them, aren't they going to get me? (you know, down there)
Easy setup
No searching the web for apps
I have control over my system
That said - the open source and freedom are really the most important aspects for me. They weren't when I first switched, but over the years this has become most important.
because my hard-drive failed?
no viruses.
runs damn fast too.
I use Linux , basically because I was sick and tired of having not enough ram on my mini laptop. And when I installed Peppermint OS One on the fucker. Then the shit just worked, and everything from updating, to installing the Danish language pack to anything has been so piss easy that I would not bother with any kind of windows on a machine. That works perfectly. I do not know if that was three reasons. But it was more than enough reason, and well it works
I use Ubuntu on my netbook. Both due to the need for speed and HDD space restrictions.
It works nearly flawlessly, and the few problems I've come across I solved by googling them.
Its power management features are inferior to those provided by windows 7 though, no matter how much I've tweaked the installation.
I can contribute to this discussion. I have a Linux HD and Windows HD. I use Windows for most stuff, Linux for experimenting because as you said, there aren't all that many advantages. However, I just got a nasty case of the Aurora spyware that I couldn't kill, so I went to reformat the HD after backing things up. Apparently my hard-drive is partially fried and neither windows nor Linux will install on it... So I'm using Linux now exclusively until I get a new HD to put Windows on.
I'd honestly dump Windows entirely if it weren't for lack of game support/lack of good ATI drivers on Linux.
