* If you do not like a manufacturer(=distro) anymore you can switch without loss of investment in development, knowledge etc. * You do not need a new server for a small extra service on your network (a lot of companies I know run the smallest of services on dedicated machines just to be sure that services can't interfere whith each other and tip the server over) * Unix has been able to handle roaming users since the beginning. No cumbersome policie replication etc, etc. Ever see what happens when policies are not replicated? * With some knowledge or programming skills software can be tinkered into doing _EXACTLY_ what you want, and not only about and much more and only in combination with bloatware packages A, A' and A''. The programming may cost you money (or time). But think about this. It is "write once run always" and not until updates are released and you need them all (or so they tell you) to run stable (again / finally / yeah right).
