I used to work for an ISP that was all Linux. A fall-out with management ended my employment. We started with 1 Proliant running SCO, then NT. When I left there were a dozen servers running Slackware and 6 or 7 workstations running Mandrake (no, I didn't sell out, the decision to go with Mandrake was out of my hands). I feel that in the right hands Linux is a viable alternative to commercial unix. I had very stable systems and rarely had problems. Every once in awhile I'd come across hardware that didn't support Linux (Linux supported the hardware, but the vendor wouldn't give us tech support) but those were few and far between. I had a slack 3.4 (maybe earlier) box doing mail, DNS and radius (sendmail, BIND, livingston, respectively). A couple machines that backed up those services, and a crapload of web servers. I believe Real-Time is also all Linux, and they seem pretty successful. I'm sure they would agree with what I've said.
