Uhm, Cuba

Hm, isn't there an embargo on all things Cuban in the U.S.? ;-)

All answers to tech questions begin with "It depends...". It's commonplace that your choice is limited to Windows or MacOS X, if you don't have an admin at hand, regardless how small your budget is, because a lot of people can learn to administer a Windows system fairly easily from a Dummies book, but this isn't the case for UNIX systems. I doubt that someone can learn UNIX administration easily without the command line, even when using YaST on SuSE Linux, SAM on HP-UX or the new Admin thingie on Solaris.

I don't think that such people are good admins or that there do a really good job at it with all the security to think about. But you won't get anywhere with UNIX, when your job is being an accountant first and admin second.
