We are a small money manager, but we are redeveloping our research system from a proprietary language on Solaris to Java and/or Python on Linux. We are using Informix 9.21 for our RDBMS (our other database stuff - client info, quarterly reports, etc - has already been ported). We run Red Hat 7.1 on IBM e-servers (Intel-based). Basically we are moving away from Sun's too expensive hardware and NT/Windows instability.
I think IBM is going to help make Linux a very viable platform.
