Fair enough, as long as you admit it's prejudice on your part.  There's 
a lot of history of Unix being proven stable in server applications for 
a lot longer than Linux has been around.  You have to set up and 
maintain the systems, though, so go with what you're comfortable with 
and know best how to use.

Yeah, but don't rely on ANY platform to "just work".  If you need the 
backups, always get in the habit of verifying them on a regular basis.
