  Gone on then specify what you mean by that last comment. Can you be =

  If you want to roll your own it can cost less for Linux, assuming your =
time
  is worth nothing.  If you want to use a supported version, like from =
RedHat,
  expect to spend much more for your annual subscription.  They will =
sell you
  a subscription to red hat linux advanced server for $1499 per year.  =
If you
  want their supported enterprise level web server you are going to pay
  another $395 to $895 annually.  That's more than four to six times =
more
  expensive than the Windows Server 2003 solution.

    Less functionality, higher cost. Ease of use is a draw, but it would =
have
  to be even cheaper just for a web server.

        That's not good enough to compete with Linux.
