I have a ton of public-facing servers on the Internet, running RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and, yes, there's even some Windows machines in our datacenters (fortunately, I don't have to touch those and haven't logged into a Windows box in years). My personal machines (at home and in the datacenter) run RHEL, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Debian and my work laptop/workstation runs Ubuntu. My e-mail ends in @gnu.org and I don't work for a "Big Enterprise, with Big Serious Enterprisey Stuff". I work for a "Small-ish ISP, with Small Not-Serious un-Enterprisey Stuff" that ranges from web and mail servers to monitoring systems to file servers to RADIUS & TACACS servers. I started with Slackware in 1996, jumped to Debian soon thereafter and used it exclusively for about 10 years before "branching out". Now, I just use the Best Tool For The Job(TM). I also avoid making blanket statements about groups of people based on their software choices.
