There are many companies out there that use Linux for large data warehousing. The company I currently work for has one of the largest multi-value ERP/MRP databases in the world that is ran on AIX but I have dealt with many other companies that use the same multi-value system on a linux platform and it is much more cost efficient.
I think some of Linux/UNIX users would find this interesting as not much has been done in the multi-value database world and the concept behind multi-value databases, performance and total cost of ownership is amazing.
