So both have time sinks... how does that permis effect my statement? I said one is worse. You say both suck time, which is obviously true, work takes time. You can disagree with me ok, but if you want to convince me that I am wrong it would be nice with substantiated material.

You hadn't offered any substantive material in support of your own opinion either. As a sysadmin with 30 years of experience running Linux and Windows servers though, I'll offer my own anecdote - I'd say that Windows is far easier to manage for many common scenarios. It's all point and click and you can basically figure out what to do without looking at any documentation anywhere. It's so easy, you can teach a monkey how to configure a workgroup, domain, users, dns server, firewall, etc. on Windows. Also, which Linux distro are you talking about? What with all the fragmentation, nothing is ever the same on every distro.

  That's putting it mildly. A lot of the time things aren't even the same on the same distro 2 years later, which is incredibly annoying when the only documentation you can find is for the wrong version.

  I did not substantiate my claim cause I did not argue against anything. Figuring stuff out without documentation when there is documentation is a bad idea. If you know what to do the GUI can guide you a bit, but it does not do work for you. If you want to do something that you don't understand you should really read more about it, the context being irrelevant. I doubt you could teach a monkey to do anything like that. At my last work we used the same distro for everything, why make it hard for yourself. Personally I think most things are the same in the most commonly used distros. Everything is generally just a file. Use mount to mount disks /dev /etc /var folders all standard normal stuff.
