I am able to do more things faster, and I am not even a real sysadmin. I'm not a sysadmin at all (really an engineering student) but I run a network of +- 40 machines (about 35 NT WS) with 5 Linux boxes, of which 4 are LM 7.1, 1 is still RH6.2. The machines are configured as follows: 1)Celeron 500 w/ 128 MB Ram: LM 7.1 Samba 2.0.7 as Primary Domain Controller for our Windows NT domain 2)P166 MMX w/ 80MB Ram: LM 7.1 Apache (servers http://www.cae.co.za and https://mail.cae.sun.ac.za) w/ PHP3/MySQL/mod-imap and 3 different webmail interfaces being evaluated Wu IMAP } Postfix }(will start to serve all our mail) 3)P60 w/ 32MB ram LM 7.1 Webcam machine 4)P75 w/32 MB ram: RH6.2 samba 2.0.7, running as a printserver apache (using Mdk rpms) doing intranet serving WebCDWriter (this is about the coolest linux app ever) We have a few of the windows boxes dual/multi-boot to Mandrake also. Setting this up part-time since May this year, I now have a network with a Windows NT Domain (seriuosly eases admin work), reliable servers, mail available securely via SSL'ed webmail, anyone capable of writing a CD from their workstation from any Netscape capable OS. To do all this in any other OS would have cost about $4000 for server software (windblows) or would have take a lot longer (RH) Best of all it's very little work to keep them all up to date, since we have a (non-official) Manrdrake mirror on our netowrk (we also have an official redhat mirror, but it's a mission to update everything).
