Right reasons

  • You want to consider blade technologies.
  • To run Linux on commodity hardware in the form of PCs.
  • You or your customer wants best-of-breed applications.
  • To reduce costs.

Wrong reasons

  • It's free -- SUSE and Red Hat distributions are not and neither is phone support.
  • You love Linux PC.
