I just landed an internship at edward rose and sons(apartment development/management), I wouldn't say they "rely" on it, but, they webserver/dns/mailserver are all reliant upon linux.<br><br>Strange thing is, none of the IT guys there know a whole lot about it. I think they just plugged it in, let some outside company set it up, and leave it on cruise control..
<br><br>Either way, even if it is just for a few services, they are a pretty big company, and own tons of apartment complexes (9th or 13th largest apartment owners in the united states, depending on who you look it up with.)
