I think Linux is great IF;

1) You have the time to learn a completely new OS and apps
2) You don't have any software that is Windows only.
3) You don't have a bunch of other people to train on a new OS and apps.

I ran Linux for something like 3 or 4 years as a web and ftp server, but never really had the time to play with it at all and when I did need to do something, never had the time to figure out how it had to be done.. finally wiped it and put XP on.
