Unix used at work and school

No big surprise here, the majority of people are using Unix based OSes at work or school. It is a little surprising though to see that Programmers and Web Developers outweigh System Administrators. Of course, it could just be that they had more time to take the survey because the sysadmins where putting out fires. ;-)

Do you use Un*x at work or school?
