Security MS = bad, linux=good, Access is not a Database Server, unlike SQL Server, mysql is. All software you could want to use on linux is free, as is Linux, unless you wish to purchase a set of CD's. MS is not. Apache Vs IIS, no competition.

I work at a College which prior to me coming here 1.5 years ago had only one programmer. He has been here 7 years and is in my opinion not much other than a M$ Office guru. I am not the best either as most of my applications and programs I write are web based. I'm pretty good with php, mysql, other web languages and now I am really trying to get involved with Python, which I love :-) I also would like to convert myself to Linux. Currently I still have a few programs that I cannot get for Linux or even something comparable. Anyways, my question is could someone send me info links or anything like that that could aid me in explaining why Access programming, if that is what you call it, and staying dependant to M$ for that matter, would not be a good thing to persue for our future. We are having a tech meeting soon where we will be discusing our future direction and I want to go into that meeting with information and examples. Thank you for any help, links, or information you could feed me.
