“The switch to the Linux platform provides a number of
cutting-edge advantages widely recognized among Internet
professionals. Linux is able to handle high traffic on Web sites.

Security is also higher with greater assurance against
hackers. Vladimir Rafalovich, Vice President and co-founder of
Rankstreet.com, is author of “What Is The Internet, WWW, and HTML.”
He is co-author of 11 science and technology articles. Rafalovich
