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.
