That's a personal opinion. Linux lacks applications and support
from third party vendors. Try finding a smart multiport board from
Digiboard with drivers for Linux. Digiboard has never heard of Linux
according to their technical support. Call Word Perfect and order WP
for Linux. Call Ingress and ask for their database package for Linux.

End user support, applications and support from industry known third party
hardware and software Unix vendors.
