I've been using Windows as a network administrator for just over 6 years now. I've used NT4 servers, 2000 servers, and Windows 2003, and there has been a tremendous improvement with each version. There are still some things that drive me nuts in my job, though, and this is a chronicle of the top five.

My linux server has no mediaplayer at all installed, hell, my Linux server doesn't even have X installed, I've got a stable kernel, and Apache, php and mysql... thats what I need, I can do my work in the command line and it free's up as much resources as possible.
If you install RHEL/SuSE/Mandrake/Debian, you get GNOME/KDE. Gnome/KDE is needed for all kinds of server configurations - printing, web, services, etc. Once you install Gnome/KDE, you automatically get all the media players (arts/xmms/esd)
I've not yet seen a Gnome-Server-Only or KDE-Server-Only package.
You may be a CLI god but doesn't mean every other server sysadmin knows how to configure a linux server without a GUI.
