It was only a few years ago that using Linux on enterprise-level servers and workstations meant a low-cost (or downright free) operating system, with high operational costs. Those days are gone; Linux OS distributions have matured and stabilized. The cost of running Linux in your enterprise is now far lower than ever before. Of course, while Linux may be easy to use and implement on one server, that doesn't mean it's easy to deploy and manage a fleet of enterprise Linux servers or workstations. Sites with a large Linux presence typically must build complicated custom scripts and programs to handle installation, and such customization extends beyond the conventional limitations of vendor-supplied installation systems.
