Business UX recommend Linux as the host Server Operating System for Australian Small to Medium Business
Here's one good reason why:
The United Space Alliance, which manages the computers aboard the International Space Station in association with NASA, has announced that the Windows computers aboard the ISS have been switched to Linux.
“We migrated key functions from Windows to Linux because we needed an operating system that was stable and reliable.”
... there won’t be a single computer aboard the International Space Station (ISS) that runs Windows.
Beyond stability and reliability, Keith Chuvala of the United Space Alliance says they wanted an operating system that
“would give us in-house control. So if we needed to patch, adjust or adapt, we could.”
It’s worth noting that the ISS laptops used to run Windows XP, and we know they’ve been infected by at least one virus in their lifetime: in 2008, a Russian cosmonaut brought a laptop aboard with the W32.Gammima.AG worm, which quickly spread to the other laptops on board. Switching to Linux will essentially immunize the ISS against future infections.
