Well, I am paid less than the windows admins, and they refuse to even try
to learn linux. I help out with windows a little. We have all our data on
a samba share which is backed up daily. This would have been done under
windows (more expensive to pay a windows person). Also, the projects that
I work on could not have been done under windows: custom software that
only runs under linux. If it did run under windows, they'd need to hire
someone to take care of these machines anyway. Of course, from the
advocacy I have heard, they would probably not need any maintenance
anyway, so this is a consideration. Also, the other people I work with do
know linux.
