Question

I work for the Mexican government, and even though everyone involved in Linux knows that it is safer and runs faster in most instances, I have not found an official document or authority that I can show to my superiors. The need for this document is bureaucratic. I need to use the proxy of my local LAN, and need to convince the internal officials of the need that I have for using Linux, instead of the Windows that they officially use and for which they are convinced they have to pay a license for.

Any solid ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Explanation / Answer

There isn't a document like that because it is highly dependent on its application, its configuration, and its use. Linux has more configuration options which can make it faster and safer (whatever that might mean in your context), but those options also mean that it can be slower and more dangerous.

If there was an "official document", then every government and every major corporation would use it as the basis for everyone switching to Linux over Windows.
