>>>I don't believe Linux can offer anything I can't get out of NT,

You will have to learn something about it for this conviction to change, right? Maybe buying one internet connected box would be the way to do that. Try the Red Hat or Caldera commercial versions. They come with free web servers and relational databases built in. Buy the same speed processor, memory, and so on as your best NT machine, and notice how much faster Linux is. (Or SCO PC UNIX, for that matter.) You can dual-boot it with OS2 or Win95 if you wish.

>>>and NT definitely has the edge from a marketing standpoint....

Not in the web server market. Not anymore.

>>>"what the hell you want to do that for?"

Twenty years ago the IBM mainframe and the IBM S/34 owned the world, or 90% of it. Those of us who were 'playing' with PC's like the S100 and the Apple were the ones who were not surprised by the change, and who made appropriate investments subsequently.
