The analysis in this paper demonstrates that even a commercial Linux server solution, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, with patching and provisioning provided by Red Hat Network and ongoing configuration management from Emu's NetDirector, is still dramatically less expensive than an equivalent solution from Microsoft. And, because NetDirector and Red Hat Network deliver powerful, GUI-based administration, the feared retraining and rehiring costs that can prevent some Microsoft users from switching to Linux are eliminated.
