Some more things users should know about linux
Linux servers are free and darned difficult to set up; there is no easy point and click server software to set up a linux home server; just a lot of arcane and difficult workarounds and problem solvers; each leading to more and more complex and even more arcane suggestions and workarounds.

Ubuntu is the worst of this lot; nothing works out of the iso and sometimes it just works but you can't know why; tweaking after it works is impossible and ensures a crash from which it is always impossible to recover.

DIY linux server software sucks big ones; it is too bad because when it works it is excellent.
