Most computer pros have heard of it, among the many flavors of Linux.
I worked on the Windows Team at Microsoft for more than 6 years.
Guess what, I had 2 Linux boxes in my office and a Sun System.
I had to setup SMB, and Unix Print Services (Print interop was my job.)
Of all the Linux Distros I used, I like Mepis and SuSE the best, though none
of them compared with Windows for ease of use or for getting stuff done.
I worked at Amazon for a couple of years after that. I cannot understand
why they would want to pay a bunch of engineers 100K a year to patch the
redhat 5.3 kernel to their liking.
I never got that for the whole time I worked there. Oh yeah, and we had
Windows boxes on our doordesks so we could use MS Office / Project / Visio
and other productivity apps.
