UNO also using various distributions as educational resources, in production
areas, and for many projects.

The 'big server' that everyone programs on for classes, research and such is
running RH 9 (with some pretty limited chrooting I might add).

I know of projects running on RH and debian.

I remember hearing something about flipping the IBM 350 to linux...or maybe
that got switched to running multipl linux vm's ontop of the OS350
software...
