Why is Linux hosting useful?

For a non-tech computer user picking the right operating system is overwhelming, if not mind-boggling. Obvious you would choose from the popular Windows 7 or the Mac OS X so where does Linux stand against them? Well the best reason to pick out Linux is its extremely low virus susceptibility to malware and virus infestations. If you are a Windows user you must have faced those days when it went down with the virus and your work practically stopped. With Linux updating anti-viruses or scanning your computer will be history.
