My favorite section:

The underground hacker community is very interested in Linux as a potential target," he said. "Because of the accessibility of the source code to everyone, it provides an equal opportunity for malicious attackers to find vulnerabilities and ways to exploit them."

Exactly why I do not recommend its use. If Windows does have a flaw, they can fix it before the crackers learn about it. There are true advantages of a single vendor OS.

"I would say it is more secure than Microsoft and other environments because the code is looked over by so many people and it's so widely available that any vulnerabilities can be quickly identified and patched," Cahill said. Piedmont uses Linux for several e-mail-related functions and is considering its use for antispam purposes

What about :

"The biggest plus that Linux has is that it's designed to allow users to be users and not administrators"

Yeah, right ... like being a user is to do a commandline configuration of ports ... My mom will know how to do that ...
