Exactly.

ROFL. It's more that linux (for me - I'm not starting an advocacy
war here) is more extendible and cooperative. I'll be using it to
keep a db of machines - IP addresses, MAC addresses, users, etc.
tying it to a web front end and DHCP/DNS server - which I can change
with the palm and automagically update the rest of it. It'll be
fairly trivial, but I wouldn't know where to start if I had to do
it on NT.
