I wasn't very clear here sorry.  Large and medium size companies are often 
heavily reliant on Linux often using it in a mix with Solaris and/or 
MS-Windows. Small companies have been more hesitant over support concerns. 
Even so I've found alot of companies down to about 20 or 30 employees are 
attracted by the cost savings.  Below that there is hesitation in my 
experience but I've known owners of very small companies that have taken 
the plunge.
