The other advantage is that running the same OS on your workstations as your servers means you only have to learn the quirks of one distro, not two. Plus, I wouldn't want to be without MandrakeUpdate, which I can even run with ssh and the weirdx Xserver from my Desktop machine when I am running windblows! In the end you need to weigh up the effort you will save against the effort you will spend. I haven't the time to migrate my last redhat box (our printserver/intranetserver/cd-writing server), so when I needed php/MySQL/frontpage extensions, I just installed Mandrakes packages !
