We often get asked,

“What are the benefits of running an organization with a Linux distribution, rather than Windows?”

The context of one's business is an important factor, but the following truths apply in most situations:

Is Linux Right For Your Business?

Stability - Linux is acknowledged to be more reliable than Windows (Unless steps are taken by a trained professional to remedy the situation). Generally one can expect less downtime and far less system reboots under Linux.
Security - Linux is inately more secure than Windows, due in large part to the fact that Linux (based on the Unix operating system) was designed from the start to operate in multi-user environments. Windows had a far different origin. Its world was the desktop, not the server. Windows can still be made secure, but generally speaking, evil doers have a much more difficult time exploiting Linux than Windows.
Efficiency - Linux has a smaller memory and processor footprint than Windows. Linux performs well even with non-cutting edge hardware.
Relatively Inexpensive - The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of Linux is dramatically lower (most distributions are free).
