I've used Linux for a very long time. Started with Slackware on floppies. Used Red Hat and derivatives for a long time, including at some large companies.

Nowadays I'm mostly with small, early stage companies in the Silicon Valley. From what I've seen in this environment, the OS of choice in production (cloud instances) is almost overwhelmingly Ubuntu.

I started out by downloading a very minimal Slackware distro on a 2400baud dial up Internet connection. A few months later I bought Slackware (full) on about 50 floppies - I felt like a rich man having all of Slackware available. Good times.
