Remember also that, on many Unix, the sysadmin is the user (most Linux boxes,
for instance). Therefore, if she wants to actually type some SGML instead of
performing the tasks of a old-timer Unix sysadmin (my job), she can keep that
in mind when choosing an operating system.
Many people assume that every Unix is hard to set up and you have to compile a
lot of things and set up a lot of environment variables before beginning to
work (specially for SGML tools!). This was certainly true with BSD 4.3. This
is no longer true.
