IBM says LINUX the place to be.

Companies of all sizes, including Morgan Stanley, DaimlerChrysler and
E*Trade Group, are realizing big cost savings by switching from proprietary
operating systems to Linux. Indeed, as this cover story in Business Week
makes clear, open-source computing is here to stay. Linux now owns 13.7% of
the $50.9 billion server market and is expected to increase its share to
25.2% in 2006, according to research cited by the magazine. More than
one-third of all large corporations have already implemented Linux to some
extent.
