With Oracle and IBM having their products running on Linux, enterprise
computing is well underway for Linux.

Where I work we currently use RS/6000's running AIX but we could run or
application under Linux with no problem.

IBM is selling those big mainframes with Linux installed to enterprise
customers.  HP and Dell are selling the big iron with Linux also.

Linux is entrenched now in the enterprise market now it needs to get going
in the desktop arena.

Linux was making headway in the multimedia and graphics markets but Apple is
picking up steam in the movie production industry.  Apple recently bought
out Nothing Real and is offering OSX versions of Shake for half the price of
Linux versions.
