I'm running a small business specialized in 100% GNU/Linux and FOSS 
systems, aimed at professional users, e. g. folks who use a PC as a tool 
to get work done. So far, my clients are small town halls, public 
libraries, a private school. My networks are mainly CentOS on servers, 
and a personal mix of CentOS and Fedora on desktops. Right now, it looks 
like I'll use the SL6/minimal-GNOME combination as a base for the new 
desktops.

I think a significant number of my clients don't even know they're using 
Linux. My only contact with Windows is when I have to retrieve data from 
a rotten install before replacing it with a crisp and clean Linux 
install. Sometimes, I integrate the odd Windows XP client in a mixed 
network, but more often than not, I just tell my clients that I don't do 
Windows, and I (politely) advise them to see someone else. So far, only 
one client wanted to migrate back, and it was the sort of client I was 
glad to be rid of anyway.

Cheers from the sunny South of France,
