If you consolidate tens or even hundreds of servers into one or two mainframes, the staff requirements diminish dramatically.

Sure, there are your usual cosmetic changes, but let\'s get this straight-Linux is Linux. You can bake it in the sun, you can dip it in hot fudge topping, heck, you can even add those candy coated sprinkles to the top of the CD, but one thing hasn\'t changed-it\'s Linux.
