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

your welcome to explain further. I have the Stevens books on Unix
programming and there is no mention of exception handling. or the
structure of the call stack. I am sure there is source code debugging,
but it is all handled by the language compiler, not the OS like you
see in i5/OS or the .NET CLR.

As far the the free part, a company pays $60K per year for each
employee, why would it matter if they have to pay another $1K to equip
that employee with software that enables them to do their job?
