Comparing tem in terms of functionality would be a more realistic use of words. Comparing whether you are better off learning one over the other and when makes no sense. I know both and can say it makes me a more informed user and able to assist those in transitioning from a microsoft platform to a Linux platform. So my point? Consider that knowing one over the other makes no sense and instead knowing both can in fact pay ten fold. There is how you can again best support folks who wish to make the switch.
