I think some of the most important info in the article is the 'bone picking' at the end. While I'm not totally anti-Microsoft, I do tend to prefer Linux, so there's my bias right there. I've personally found that with a decent grasp of the issues, it's hard to break a Linux server, and relatively easy to upgrade without breaking much, if anything. I will agree that a 'Net connection is critical to good Linux maintenance, but then again, I'd also kill anyone that threatened to take away my broadband connection!
