Companies that use Linux

In the eve, of one of the most incredible and ridiculous meetings that have ever taken place in this earth, I need to ask for some information.

I am basically looking for companies that use Linux. The demented systems manager of the company that I work for, refuses to install Linux on the premises that it is a very risky operating system. He says that due to the fact that is an "open source", it is a risk factor, and that he will not compromise the security of the company


Anyway, I found these places, and it seems that there is a plethora of those out there.

I know that he is completely out of his mind, but what has been your experience with it. What mission critical applications are you using it with.

There are tons of other ludicrous details about this whole ordeal, but it will take 2 or 3 pages to explain

Thanks for your help.
