I 3rd the vote for YaST! THE easiest way to transition from windows to Linux is through a menu driven configuration utility, and YaST runs in ncurses too so you can run your server without loading a GUI (and it's security issues). That aside, don't deploy to 2500 users an unfamiliar tech you can't fix...

But seriously... We just wrote an enterprise, line of business application in Perl using Catalyst, Moose, DBIx, Template Toolkit, etc. After that experience this 44 year old programmer says "You can pry Perl from my cold dead fingers". In just over a year, my small team of two accomplished what takes competitors 2+ years with actual staff of 5+. Additionally I am not even sure we could have met the performance requirements with .Net or Java. Writing large apps in Modern Perl has been frigging wonderful, people. I like going to work again. That is why Perl isn't "dead". I am looking forward to Perl6, because I am all about leaving on time. Every day. Which Perl enabled me to do now. Congrats Rakudo Star team!

Did anyone else notice that "Complete Edition" is listed under the "Operating Systems" category, but if you go up into that category it disappears?

In the left hand helper column it even lists BOTH OSes: Mac and Windows

The only ways I could get to that item was:
a) the direct link
b) searching for linux on the site
