Another statistic I'd like to see is how much admin time this costs on
the average to learn and implement.   Has anyone really measured this?
  Are there training courses specifically to cover it?   You might get
an idea from the length and cost of the training if it covers all the
quirks.   These days most of the built-in stuff is pre-configured for
someone's idea of working (apache not being able to send mail doesn't
match my definition, though...), but any third-party or local
additions to a targeted service will take time to set up.
