While the DoD tends to be Microsoft centric (where departmental file,
print, and email servers are concerned), the Naval command where I work
currently does use quite a few Linux boxes. They are working on migrating
off HP-UX to Linux. With the NMCI contract (EDS won a 5+ billion
dollar contract to take over most IT functions from the desktop to
the servers to helpdesk; however it only covers Microsoft
technologies. Takeover is in progress) looming large, network admins are
focusing more on their *nix boxes and hence linux (and even some freebsd).
As a software developer, it is nice to be able to have the choice of
platforms.
