Even APple recommends Wiondows servers for file and print servers.
they do until they don't. linux is cheaper and more reliable.
Do they make a free linnex version?
doesn't have to be free. you buy the windows version and run it using wine. runs at practically native speeds
note in general, if we're talking text/typesetting, then its only print media that need these things. gimp is as featureful as photoshop, e.g. (actually, by now, probably more so), and if you're publishing on the web its fine. its only when you need the color technology that you need to pay.
