LINUX - "THE TIME IS RIGHT"

Linux is the fastest growing server operating system, and there is significant interest growing in the desktop market. Linux can reduce TCO while consistently delivering higher levels of reliability, security and performance. It is now widely deployed throughout the business, with many organizations not even being aware of the "mission-critical" Linux server running in the computer room.

Why the rise of Linux? - "It's all about choice"
