I occasionally do some consulting here and there and while you're right 
there isn't much interest in production Linux in North America I seen 
lots of it in China, Japan, and all over South America.  Even to the 
extent that whole government departments standardize on it, or make it 
the employee's choice.  Employees at one of Brazil's largest government 
service bureaus get a bonus for learning Linux because of its lower cost 
of ownership.  In many of these places there is a very high tariff on 
imported technology and Linux on older pc's makes great sense.
There is a good chance that these lesser developed economies will lead 
ours in Linux adoption.  It leaves old Linux hacks like me with an 
interesting choice for "semi retirement" jobs... :)
