You can get close with a mac (and there are obviously lots of things
you can do outside of the minimum requirements) but you certainly can't
do it using any linux flavour as it falls down on at least the
monitoring / control aspect.

What monitoring / control can't you do on a Linux box that you can on Windows?

If you run a program like Labview on a UNIX box, attach some hardware, you could monitor & control a nuclear power station if you wanted! Graphical interface, point and click etc.

Labview is expensive I admit, but I have personally written freely available software to control some test instruments, that will run on a Linux system very easily.

1) HP 8970A noise figure meter
http://hp8970.sourceforge.net/

2) HP 3457A digital multimeter
http://dawm.sourceforge.net/

Both of them programs are quite basic but they are usable and can both control the instruments and monitor data from them. At one point in the dim and distance past I was monitor something on them, producing a graph and copying the graph onto a web server so there was an update of the data every couple of minutes on a web page.

Perhaps you mean something very different. You might mean control users and monitor the system, but you can do them too.
