Definately agree with the overall point - That said, if using as a critical file server, etc be sure to do some system managment practice in a VM to get the commands down 1st - one of the major ways Linux differs from FreeBSD is that storage managment is radically different - and these are the kinds of commands you'll need to run in this context, only rarely, and typically when dealing with critical issues (disk fails, yadda).. so good to make sure you have solid fundamentals before putting all of your critical stuff there - not because of system issues, but because of potential PEBCAK issues..
