Why do you think that i need a long time experiance of linux before i state my opinion on it? You say every OS has its place and its not as if i am not agreeing with you. Infact i thought i was clear in my previous posts where linux/unix/hobo OS had their place. So far, only two reasons have been provided to explain why all these previously mentioned agencies have choosen linux.
[1] - Linux is free i.e good for financially strained agencies.
[2] - Its open source i.e good for agencies who want to modify the OS to suit their own needs.
Those two points do not make linux/unix/hobo OS better than XP. You cant say linux is much more secure than XP because if you have all the experiance in Linux, you would know that linux has its own security problems. So what makes Linux so special? Apart from it being free and open source that is.
