As far as I know, Linux is a choice, not something that comes with a system just because you didn't choose a Mac or Windows OS system.

If you're poor and working with a system that you bought cheap off of ebay you may not have an option--a lot of those come wiped.

...and if you are not poor and can also afford $$$$ in multiple DSLRs, and glass worth more than the cameras, and still dismiss the mainstream OSs as unworthy of your desktop? In the case of some of the Linux advocates in this room poverty is not a reason for the choice of OS, and dismissal of all else they do not approve of.

I have a production environment. It is not an inexpensive computing system. One 12 CPU machine, another has 8 CPUs, and two have 4 each. There are multiple terabyte disks on all of them. There is also a 6 CPU machine with multiple terabytes maintained as an offsite file archive.

I use Linux because 1) I know what I'm doing, and 2) Linux does what I need better than anything else.

If either of those were not true I'd have a very hard time choosing between OSX and MS-WINDOWS.
