Well, I am still looking for another job, or I would be using Linux at work.
I've been training myself on shell scripting and security for this purpose :)

However, I can report that my husband works in a software shop that has
recently put Linux on a few boxes. Their software currently runs with HP UX,
Solaris and Windows servers, but they realize that with the increased
presence of Linux in the market it's only a matter of time before their
software needs to run on it too. So while my husband does not use a Linux box
at work for day to day work, since he's doing support work on software that
doesn't yet run on it, they are starting to work with it.
