I fail to see what would take more times to be done under linux than
under Mac OS-X. Perhaps an example to illustrate would help.

I have more experience with Mac OS-X server than with Mac OS-X and I can
tell you as a user that the three words "it just works" doesn't apply. I
agree that this is a bit off-topic in this thread which is more desktop
centric. 'Server' is mostly a set of GUI apps to administrate free
software on top of Mac OS-X and that this apps let you do the basic stuff.
As soon as you want to do more advanced stuff, you have to go under the
wood and thing can go ugly if you are not careful and first understand
the hacks done by Apple.
