Re:This is linux's strength, actually (Score 1)

I've been using various flavors of Linux for over 16 years now. While I have never had to manage Groop Policies to hundreds of computers I have worked for ISP's that have mainly Linux server farms. I would say that Linux is more than capable of replacing MS in large scale networks like the one this article is about. As it has been said many times over and over, if you set it up right, if you know what you are doing, Linux is a far more secure and managable platform than MS, and the best part is that just about every tool you need for it is free, even the ones that aren't are cheap by compairison to the MS counterparts. In the end the real problem is this. To have a Linux server manage clients like this article says you need to know what you are doing, no script kiddies that know some perl and think that since they know what XFree is or have made their own Enlightenment configs, they are Linux Gurus. Linux will do whatever you tell it to do, if you dont tell it to do the right thing, that's on you, not the OS. Anyhow just my two cents tossed in the conversation...
