It is not very long ago (2 months maybe) that primus posted multiple
linux c/c++/sql developement positions they wanted to fill.

So there are jobs out there for doing linux development.

Where I work, we have one Visual-C++ programmer doing windows
developement (ok, he is a co-op), and another doing mac os X development
(also a co-op), and everything else we do on linux, which is what we use
for the server side.  I don't do java (I hope I never have to learn that
mess), and I don't do visual whatever (I have never had to).  So far I
haven't had a problem getting a job (although I have only been out of
school 3 years so far).  My co-op positions were either sysadmin/tech
support or unix development (about half of each type).  Finding the unix
development jobs on the other hand may be harder, but that doesn't mean
they don't exist.
