LOL True. With the greatest of respect (honestly), I think it's true to say that as a general rule most Linux users are capable of providing tech support to 90% of 'tech support' staff.
I'm talking industry-wide btw, not picking on VM, and obviously referring to the level 1 script monkey types, but ykwim.
Packets are packets, and provided your chosen operating system can handle TCP/IP you're fine. Provided you actually know how to operate your operating system, anyway.
I run Windows, Linux and OS X here, no issues at all. I would add though, that it shouldn't matter about variations and 'self coders'. If you understand Linux, even at a basic operating level, you should be comfortable at any *nix system - regardless of what the GUI and distro on top are called.
