Well, I don't know about that, as I believe most other ISP's have other more dominant OSes, based on the preferences of their system managers. I believe Pacific uses Solaris more than any other OS for its infrastructure, and while obviously Mozcom uses Linux extensively, they don't use it to as great an extent as we do, apparently. Once again, we're lighting that long debate on Linux on the desktop. There was a very recent article on slashdot that's relevant to the issue, and a lot of the comments are relevant.
