You most definately will want to make sure your user id's are identical between the two systems, otherwise stuff like @CB will have wrong information.
Excellent point.
Also, do you have any expertise maintaing a linux box? If you want something closer to SCO in mentality, FreeBSD and SCO have the same grandparents. Linux is like the cute girl that moved into town. Stuff isn't always where you expect to find it, and you may get a surprise if you reach into the wrong place.
Oh, don't *even* send him to BSD. CentOS and SuSE 11 are the only rational free Linuces for business use. *Any* of the BSDs are so much less well supported that they'll drive you straight up a wall. Cheers, -- jra
