When deciding which operating system is best for a particular project, you need to know about the possible candidates, the comparative features of each, and then match those features to the requirements of the project concerned. You don't just pick one on a single (trivial) issue, such as `the market leader'. You wouldn't apply the same process to choosing a motor vehicle, house, or other major purchase. Linux and other open source software is not just for geeks, hackers, hobbyists, or other users that you might associate with cheap software. The Internet and the open source philosophy interact to produce some of the highest quality software available. The following references aim to show that Linux is a serious computing platform which can be and is used by major organisations for mission critical computing.
