With Free security, why would you use anything else?

Link!

Of course gamers can ignore this. It isn't intended for them.

It is quite possibly the most free, and has had more security developments in the past few months than most of the other OSes out there combined.

So even if a cracker accesses the system, she'll be able to reach only the Apache root directory ...

The guys at O'Reilly have a resource of h4x0r ch1ckz? Where?

But there are plenty of intelligent people that also do not consider using it.

Learning curve? Hype and FUD? Marketing? Also Free OS for some?

I agree with you, there is no reason the use the overpriced Microsoft products if you don't use and need apps only written for them.

Learning curve?

I will give you that. Most users don't enjoy learning, which IMO is a short coming on their part. I find messing around with stuff on my system more fun than the latest FPS game.

Hype and FUD?

Microsoft does not speak out much against the BSDs. Only Linux. They hate the GPL.

Marketing? Also Free OS for some?

I would love to get Microsoft's products for free, but it isn't worth going to college for it. Plus the uses with those licenses are limited.

I personally think the security aspects should be more of a draw than the fact it costs no to little money and is free.
