I think in the old days it was much harder to maintain a box. You'd get a new server, you'd have to configure email, create print queues, move partitions around keep an eye on system logs etc etc. Now people use Linux but dont really care - the server will only be alive for a few hours and it only has to do one thing. That makes living with Unix a lot easier.
