I have seen utilities replace expensive workstations that were used only as consoles and in their place - dual monitor linux boxes. All of my customers have linux running somewhere and they all have plans on continuing to increase their presence. It just makes good business sense - low cost and highly flexible (box can be used for development, as a server, or simply as a console) and less hassle with licenses.
