I work with a lot of systems integrator types - they deliver finished platforms to run apps we develop on. A lot of familiarity with Solaris and Centos. One day, a couple of load balancers died and one of them needed a quick solution so I tossed them my 4.6 cd and sent them a link to man for relayd. About 20 minutes later, he had his first OpenBSD server. 3 hours after that, load-balancers.
The guy said it was the easiest learning curve he'd ever seen - everything just worked, the man pages were accurate, and there were no gotchas. Linux's popularity as a platform for services has nothing at all to do with ease of use.
