I remember seeing job postings for the Apple NC datacenter and it did include Linux, Solaris and some other *nixes. I doubt Apple would risk using Mac OS X Server for such a large scale deployment...my guess, given how they've pulled back from the server side of things. Can you imagine a couple million Mac Pro or Macmini "servers" whizzing away in the huge complex? :) I think Apple should just leave the server business all together, give us a way to migrate Apple SUS and NetBoot to proper *nix or Windows environments that all companies support...
