  Some of the tools that make my job much easier are only
available on Linux....
  There's probably no reason Windows or Mac versions couldn't
be written, except that nobody has done it (well) yet.

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?

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.
