I'd start by using proper grammar. People tend to not take you seriously when you talk like a 'tard.

It is free.
It has can multiple desktops for higher productivity.
It is flexible, and able to go from anything to a server to a desktop or even a mobile integrated environment.
There is a large software base for it. Most applications for other OSs have a linux equivalent.

But that really depends on the person I am trying to sell it too. If it was grandma trying to email her grandkids, I would say "It's free. It's free, It's Free". For a developer, I would say "It has valgrind!"

No licensing cost.
No upgrade cost.
Huge collection of useful software.
Standards compliant.

Of course, the bad part is:
You provide the support.
You pay for the transition.
Etc.

It's free, open source, and there's no licensing bullshit to deal with.
Once you get it working, it will continue to work forever until you or someone causes it to not work.
It's more efficient at storing data and easier to script tasks. (ever try extracting info from MS AD or exchange? :eek:)
Easy to get help on if you have problems.

It's better than the garbage that is Mac OS X.
Painful anal intercourse will suddenly feel less painful after trying to install software on lunix.
You should install it to see how much you should appreciate Windows.
You can be as cool as the lunix guys think they are.
