Selling Linux to yourself or to your company faces significant hurdles to a world where Windows rules. However, you understand Linux and know it can help, but you still seem unable to sever the Windows leash. If you have trouble making the change to Linux, so will your company. To help you make the most convincing argument, here are 10 ways Linux can save you time and money. By focusing on these important topics, you will at least get a chance to make your pitch.

1. Worldwide administration. Linux tools make low cost remote server administration easily, even without third party software.

2. Easy updates. Updates for Linux distributions come out quickly after the discovery of vulnerabilities.

3. Customizations. Companies, users and developers can create their own Linux Kernels, meaning that their operating system conforms to them, not to a giant corporation.

4. Robust support. The amount of support for Linux online rivals that of Microsoft and comes mostly for free.

5. Linux runs servers and workstations. The days when Linux was considered a server-only OS have come and gone.

6. Lower cost of ownership. Arguments suggesting Windows costs less no longer hold water in light of modern business practices.

7. Security. Windows always gets hacked, and businesses lose valuable business secrets. Linux systems offer more security.

8. Software. Abundant software for Linux makes it possible for companies to run entirely with Linux.

9. Virtualization. IT uses virtualization to run more than one machine on a hardware platform. Available for free Linux virtualization beats Windows all day.

10.Popularity. Linux continues to build momentum in the business world as more companies recognize its benefits.
