Since you are doing the consulting thing now you (and others) might want to
check out "The Unix Guide to Defenstration" by Murph P. Murphy at
http://www.winface.com .  Changed my mind on a lot of things - both on going
to a *nix solution and on sometimes not bothering with it.  I read it when I
"discovered" Open Source many years ago.

I also got "The Cluetrain Manifesto", "The Cathedral and Bazaar", "The
Mythical Man-Month", "Microserfs", an Internet connection and Caldera's
Linux at the same time.  Things haven't been the same since.
