OPEN I "feel" ....
well, i'll run merely 2 servers, M$ W2k Adv. Svr & Fedora core 1.

it maybe i'm, just paranoic, but so far i've patched ( or search for patches ) every single week since i've installed it, i've got 2 differents backups from that server, including a full HD-copy ( using linux dd BTW ) and thanks to BSOD, OS reboots and so on, i don't know if i'm being attacked or OS's is just pissing me off ( im not an forensic pro, and windows havent's all the logs i wish )

on the other hand i've patched my linux box once every two months or so, having just one incremental back up and never had happen since, i've got all the logs i want, i can audit everithing that happens on that server.

i'dont know if it's just my imagination, but @ least i feel "safer" with linux, don't you agree?
