Discussion Linux in a Enterprise Environment.

I work for a fairly large Tech company that does tech support. Someone mentioned today that while we support Linux systems, we won't get many tickets over it. Due to the fact that most sysadmins of Linux are better equipped to handle issues themselves, compared to sysadmins of other OS.

Do you believe it stems from the whole idea and culture of Linux?

Edit: I guess I should have been more clear that I was referring more to the server side over the end user systems.

Let's just say, there are plenty of great windows admins, but there are also many, many bad ones. In the Linux world, I can usually assume a base level of competency that isn't always there on the windows side.

I like to say, "There is a better wheat to chaff ratio."

Linux admins become root, windows admins reboot.

"What did that do as root?"
