Of course, this phenomenon is not limited to NT.  The NetWare community 
went through this a long, long time ago.

I'm not convinced that the learning curve for a GUI OS is any different 
than for a command-line OS.  Is there very much difference between 
recalling arcane command-line arguments, and recalling arcane combinations 
of radio buttons and checkboxes?

the real problem is poor OS design.  NT 4 demonstrated this in many areas, 
especially updates.  But have heart.  netware took 9 years to get to the 
point that updates are reasonably predictable to install.  Not easy.  NT 
will never get there, since WIN 2000 is the new standard.  Let us hope.

In the meantime, Linux distributions vary in both ease of use and 
updating.  Look for a Linux admin that understands the concepts of 
security, user administration, and networking.  This person has a chance to 
grow.
