Tealeaf have Linux Install Option (beyond PCA)

This is a BIG ask I realize, but I am putting it in, and encourage the community to comment please!

In short, there's a big value to porting the rest of the Tealeaf On Premise system to Linux.

* Linux is much more common in current website development environments.
* Less overhead for antivirus processing slowdowns.
* Less security patching maintenance. No more MS constant security patches!
* Less effort to build large admin user interfaces (Pipeline, Search Service, CanRebuild) - just have scripted tools with prompts.
* MUCH faster software rollout. RPMs take a fraction of the time and can be scripted.
* Could Docker-ize or use other rollout tools for larger systems (ex, Puppet.com).
* Diagnostic tools are much more readily available in Linux (ex, telnet isn't default installed on Windows Server anymore).
* No more Windows Event/MMC logs!
* Possibly accelerate work in private cloud deploys that work very fast using Linux, but can run into issues with Windows deploys.

Please feel free to fill in any more suggestions I'm sure I'm missing!

    I have been asking for this for nearly 20 years. Running the canisters, portal, on Linux would be so much more robust, secure and faster, both to implement and operate.
