Best Answer

Linux is a very common platform for websites and applications that run them. It is popular because it has a very good track record with security, performs well on almost all types of hardware and workloads, and can be had at a much lower cost than Windows.

I don't understand Yahoo Answers Community Guidelines or Terms of Service Does Yahoo have a problem with using Linux as an answer to computer problems They got mad at me.?

Yahoo does not have a problem with recommending suggesting, or even mentioning Linux. What they have a problem with is people posting "answers" that are not actually helpful to the asker. Answers like "Use Linux" for a problem someone has with getting a program to work on Windows is not considered an actual answer. Just like someone posting "Get a Mac' when someone is looking for a driver for a piece of hardware is asinine. Besides, telling someone to use Linux doesn't give them a freedom of choice, which is what Linux is all about.
