I've already spoken to someone once, and it seems liek they're still getting the hang of doing it on Linux (they have apparently done this for a long time with BSD). Probably great if you just need a {random|generic} linux box to work with, or want all their default services running, but we're using it for external nagios monitoring and I want nothing running that isn't needed for that...
