We're still mostly windows at work except for the mail server. At home I run Redhat Fedora Core 4 (or 5 I forget) with X-Windows and Vmware server (Free) with Exchange running in the VM. It's more or less stable, but I've had a few issues which required me to do ctrl-alt-backspace to kill X and get back into the command line. Although those might've been related to running VMware which was beta at the time.
