My golden rule of sys admin is that anything on a Linux based OS can be fixed. Preferably without a reboot.

It shouldn't take any time at all to get them back up and running, because all the installation and deployment is automated. I've never tried Windows but I've heard it's a faff to do this. Good to hear it's catching up, though!
