This may not mean what it sounds like on the surface.  I actually use
a Linux desktop at work, but I use a Linux desktop everywhere.  Our
DB folks have started deploying databases on redhat ... so they've
got a couple of PCs in their cubes running linux as test boxes or
X-interface-to-Oracle-GUI things.

They're "on the desktop" but they haven't replaced M$ as the place
where the user actually does most of their work.
