Nah.

Linux still needs decent hardware to run great. While a System x 3550 or
3650 is not exactly expensive, you will still run around at around 5 -
7.5 US$.

Of course you can run your mission critical line of business application
on a 500US$ PC you picked up from best buy (and might even perform well,
if it isn't IO intensive, or you have enough RAM), you just don't want
to do that.

To my knowledge, you cant WRKJOB on a Linux process, view the call

Linux allows all of the above and much, much more. For free. Running on
hardware costing next to nothing.
