Exactly; you *are* a Linux SysAdmin. The example postulates having to hire
someone is a Linux SysAdmin, since (probably/possibly) the existing Admin
personnel are not Linux people.
So the cost skyrockets, since there is a whole new employee to be paid for
- salary, benefits (usually something like 30% of salary is paid out as
benefits; inevitable learning period of the new Admin, while they learn
the specifics of your business/company, etc.
