My reality is simple, 120 windows boxes, 45 RH linux. Because you can
push client software to clients with the same OS as the master server I
find having a windows box a lot less work. If you had more linux clients
then....

I also find configuring the windows clients much easier since everything
you can configure is in the gui, not so with linux, lots of file
editing. 

I also despise java, which is the gui de jour in NBU outside of windows.

As far as moving on, from what I can tell from the forum most NIX sites
tend to be solaris rather than linux. That may change, maybe.

Well, not so easy. I am comfortable with Windows the most, but OK with
Linux. i would like to learn more Linux and i think this is a great
opportunity. the problem is, how useful is it going to be in the future?
if i decide to go somewhere else, can i use that knowledge? do people
run mostly Windows or Linux is popular as well. I know, there are plenty
of Linux enthusiasts who will scream: Linux, Linux, Linux... But what is
the reality?
