The University of Michigan is in the process of replacing several Sun servers with servers running Linux (no idea of the hardware). That is happening in the college of literature sciences and the arts (LSA). The college of engnieering already has several servers that run Linux, but still has some that run Solaris. In engineering computing labs every Dell Windows workstation dual boots into Red Hat linux (at least for now).
I have been running Gentoo Linux on my Centrino notebook since I got it. The power consumption in Linux is a bit higher than in Windows, but it is nice to use the OS I want to.
The open source wireless driver for the 2100 card is actually better than the Windows version - at least in my experience. In Windows it randomly drops the connection, but I have not had a single problem with the WiFi driver in Linux.

Sue, sue anyone in sight.. Very consistent with their past behaviour!
