.....Linux still tends to be used on servers handling well-defined
tasks - Web serving, email serving or application serving over the
Internet.......corporate users prefer running the back-end database
server or transaction processing systems under Unix or proprietary
OS.....

It was an abstraction from an article last January. Is it fit to say
it at present??

A list of business using Linux, a lot of these use Linux
on the desktop, i.e. receptionists and office workers are
using Linux without any problems.

Finish governments toward using Linux as the platform of
choice in all there computers.

Software development has been popular, as is all kinds of engineering
designs.  At least I know of entreprise software that uses Oracle/LinTel
(you don't think Oracle and IBM put their flagship products on Linux for
fun).  But transaction processing could be different.

The Chinese government has banned Windows >2k in government servers and
made Linux the platform of choice; but Win whatever is still on
desktops, and critical backends still run on proprietary OS'.  If the
U.S. government is running critical backends on proprietary OS', I doubt
if other gov's would do otherwise.
