I am just speculating that it is base on casual reading of trade websites and periodicals. Just because there are more general internet using businesses than movie businesses.
Servers don't need high performance 3D or 2D graphics. In fact many servers are probably not administered with a GUI at all. I don't know how many CAD/CAM applications are done using Linux either, but probably much less than Windows and Solaris/SGI. I am not trying to argue against high performance and complete ATI or Nvidia opensource drivers. I was just playing devils advocate. Linux is my favorite OS. It would be perfect for me if the graphics and multimedia capabilities were equal or better than Windows.
