Linux Geek Stuff

Interesting article about Linux as posted on Yahoo. As an old Unix guy I like the idea of Linux. As an IT Business Manager, I don't. I just purchased two new identical servers, one windows, one linux. After purchasing the Linux support package, the Linux server was $500 more (on a $2500 purchase) and I had to install the OS. The article points out continuing problems with Linux drivers and my experience says Linux admins, the good ones, are more expensive than Windows admins. I'm not a shill for MS but the arguments about open source being less expensive simply don't hold in my expereince.
