[ossig] IDC: Windows cheaper than Linux

["Colin Charles " <byte@aeon.com.my>]

A fairly independent study, based on server use:

Something that caught my eye:

"We believe these higher costs are...related to the relative 
immaturity of the management tools available today for Linux 
systems," IDC said. Administrators, too, will become more adept. 
"Over time, the gap in support costs between Linux and Windows will 
contract." 

Maybe the Linux zealots (well, FreeBSD, and other Unixes as well) 
shouldn't stick with the CLI based admin/management tools, and get 
some really good GUI thing running for the Windows-converted admins.

I've seen Webmin in action, and intend on actively playing with it 
soon. What other GUI admin and management tools do you all use out 
there?
