The question was Why Linux meant in context, Why Linux Not Windows, for an audience that may not know there's a choice at all.
Of course *We* know that Mac Server, OpenBSD, *BSD, and all the Linux are all better than the old-school Unix Sys V/BSD/... servers, and thus any of them would be better than any Windows Server. The question asked was really, how do we sell that to those that don't see that already? Not gnit picking *which* one of them is absolute best -- not because that will always depend upon the specific situation, though it will, but because the audience the OP was asking advice for pitching to needs to hear "Not Windows" first before getting into that detail. ( And anyway, they'll likely only have one or at most two Linux/BSD choices at the hosting providers they deal with. ) (Although I can't argue against OpenBSD being secure-by-default is a darn good idea for internet facing ! ) -- Bill @n1vux [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
