>Linux support is considerably more expensive than Windows support In my experience running a small business, Linux support was much cheaper than windows support. The Linux professionals seem to charge more but can almost always fix a problem twice as fast as a the support I get from Windows "professionals". I also ended up having less problems with Linux than I did with Windows (after a few initial bumps in the road). I've also talked to quite a few other entrepreneurs and many of them agree that Linux is a fine and much better choice for start-ups simply because you're starting from a clean slate (So there is no legacy code to deal with) and because 90% of small businesses and start-ups consists of a network of 10 or less computers.
