My ISP uses Linux. My district forces each school to use Win2k servers with OS X and WinXP worksations. Other than that... Well. No.

My friend ,who got imto Linux in the first place, is taking a Networking program at a local University
UCFV  (Univ/College of the Fraser Valley)

part of his program, actually a big part, is Apache
running on redhat

He's even got a Linux Admin course in the program.

He said that they were using 8 but dropped back down to 7.3 because it was a more comfortable networking environment.
