So if Linux is your choice - great, enjoy it but don't try to convince
us it's problem free - it isn't. It is also one of the most hacked
server OSes in the world too. Most of those big name hacks we've heard
about this past year were running Linux front-ends. Not exactly a
secure system but yes, it is less expensive up-front but over time, you
pay.

FUD noted

FUD and idiocy. Linux is the most widely-used server OS in the world,
by far, and not because it's "less expensive up front". It's because
it's the best tool for the job.
