Hi Ramki,
Linus is preferred, as you have a lot more userbility by using it.
You're not locked in to what you can and can't
do. Since Linux is Open Source, you can modify the code to do what
you want if you have the know how.
Also, it's free, no licensing costs, easy to write your own apps for,
or even modify someone elses apps, legally.

Most of the Security personel use Linux, in fact their laptops have
a Linux
partition for this purpose (even Microsoft guys do this, I have
seen couple
of them).
But I have always wanted to know why linux is prefered?

Subject: OS to know.
I am a graduate student at George Mason University obtaining
my MS in Information Security and Assurance. What operating
system is used more for security administration in the
private sector versus the government sector?
Pretty much I would like to know what operating system I
should focus on if I wanted to pursue a government career in
security or if I wanted to purse a career in the private
sector. Thanks.
