It doesn't stop at Linux tho... open source messaging stacks are being rolled out in the financial sector: http://customers.redhat.com/2010/03/03/deutsche-boerse-red-hat-mrg-case-study/ Open source virtualization is being used as well: http://customers.redhat.com/2010/08/30/ganart-technologies-builds-financial-transaction-cloud-on-red-hat-enterprise-virtualization/ And finally, open source middleware stacks: http://customers.redhat.com/2010/06/19/nyse-euronext-standardizes-on-jboss/ Linux is in VERY good shape.
