[K12OSN] Given this situation, why bother continue with LTSP?

[Rob Owens]

Here are a couple links:

"In the survey, Linux admin salaries were slightly
higher than Windows admins, with Linux at $71,400 per
admin, and Windows at $68,500 per admin. But Linux
admins took care of an average of 44 servers and
Windows admins an average of 10. So the salary per
processing unit was Linux, $12,010, and Windows,
$52,060."

"Programmer/analysts with Unix or Linux skills were
able to command salaries at least 9% to 10% higher
than their Windows counterparts."
"CIOs made almost $135,000 a year at Unix sites,
compared with $114,000 at Linux and $73,000 at
Windows-only installations."

I know I've seen plenty of articles about this over
the past year, but I don't remember where.
