However, having had under my fingers pretty much everything that holds uniquely retrievable data in all possible storage formats on almost every (mostly comercial) platform, as admin I always liked the idea of being able to modify the (kernel) parameters of the underlying OS to tune the performance of my database server, without re-installing the entire system. With MySQL on Linux you can. And the range of choices regarding storage engines, procedural languages, data types, and clustering, distribution and replication scenarios - just to name a few - is much wider with MySQL, regardless of the platform. Myself, I would prefer MySQL to MSSQL if I'd have the choice, because I wouldn't have to deal with DBCC.
