One simple reason to get into Linux (and Unix for that matter), is that some companies do use them, and pay good money for IT staff who can comer these OS's.

At the moment in Belfast there is a company willing to pay £25,000 - £30,000 pa for Linux/Unix Engineers.

Considering I been thinking of heading in that direction anyway, I think once I've finished my CCNA I'll look into a barebones machine and Linux/Unix.
