Have to admit avoiding Linux all my life.
Question: What does SQL Server on Linux mean for me?
Example, I have several computers networked at home and have been wanting to install a full SQL Server to take advantage of the new SQL Server / Excel object model tool to enhance data mining.
Would Linux be an advantage over a Microsoft Server to run SQL Server in cost, simplicity or other aspects?
My knowledge of SQL Server from installation, security, maintenance, SQL Views, and light programming is above average.
The question is: what could Linux offer that I might want to consider?

This is the most significant release of SQL Server that we have ever done, and brings with it some fantastic new capabilities. SQL Server 2016 delivers:
Extending SQL Server to Also Now Run on Linux
Today I’m excited to announce our plans to bring SQL Server to Linux as well. This will enable SQL Server to deliver a consistent data platform across Windows Server and Linux, as well as on-premises and cloud. We are bringing the core relational database capabilities to preview today, and are targeting availability in mid-2017.
SQL Server on Linux will provide customers with even more flexibility in their data solution. One with mission-critical performance, industry-leading TCO, best-in-class security, and hybrid cloud innovations – like Stretch Database which lets customers access their data on-premises and in the cloud whenever they want at low cost – all built in.
