People who grow up with Windows all remember just how hard it was to
learn all the work-around for Windows many quirks and problems. They
think it will take years to re-learn that for another OS. No. those
other OSes basically "just work". Going from bare hardware (no OS)
to a running SVN server under Linux takes about an hour or maybe two
and not to many mouse clicks. Most of that time is waiting for the
software to download, the SVN software is pulled down from the net and
automatically installed when you click the "SVN Server" check box then
"install". This is not a high-skill level task, you are not
building a three tier web site.
