No way around the learning curve but to learn it.  It's just better to
get people to understand that.  There are a lot of real valid reasons to
do so including the better security but I think the best reason for a
mission field use is it's just loads more stable.  I mean think about
it...  Would you rather be ministering or reinstalling windows / virus
updates, etc, etc, ad nausium.

There's nothing to learning Linux really except 2 things..  You must
read, and you must use it.  If there's a task to be accomplished, *find*
the Linux way of doing it rather than resorting to another OS.  That
forces you to learn, and being a Christian as very similar to this
philosophy.  You are *always* learning and growing.
