Why Linux for business needs?

Why Linux? First off, its free! The ability to have an operating system that is free makes a huge difference when needing to cut costs in a business. You also have developers constantly looking at the different flavors, or brands of Linux. With hundreds of developers looking at Linux operating systems there are constant fixes to bugs that effect the security of your system and the performance of the machine. You also have the opportunity to install only the key components of Linux that you are needing in order to be productive. You can go even as far as writing program specific programs for Linux to meet your company needs. Just think about how awful it would be to choose a company to write a custom DBMS for you to then have them all of a sudden go out of business without warning. Who then will support the product you just purchased? Who will refund the money you just spent as well? By doing your own custom programming you then do not need to worry about these issues, and constantly update, and fix bugs that may come across. Linux can be used for Mail Servers, Routing, FTP services, Web Services, DNS Services, and much more.
