what chris said. anything that consumes data is going to benefit from
linux on the backend whether it be network attached storage or stupid
mysql boxes you can just cable onto the router. they dont go down,
they don't crash, and they're dirt cheap to piece together RAID
backpanes in cases, slap linux on, and use for any form of a data dump
somewhere on your production network. ill occasionally prostitute
myself making multi terabyte NAS units for home theatre installations,
and dropping linux on them in terms delivering a low cost unit makes
them very attractive.

This may seems like a weird question, when I am sifting

In my experience, a lot of online advertising companies use Linux - but
I don't recommend working for them unless you like feeling slimy at the
end of the day. I've also had a lot of experience with Linux in the
scientific community. Perhaps there are some research-based operations
local to you? I know a lot of grid computing is using Linux almost
exclusively.
I would probably start concentrating heavily on services over a network
though. The whole world is going to be connected and being able to serve
them information or media reliably and robustly would be a boon to your
potential clients :) (load balancing, backup, storage, security,&tc.)
Pretty much everyone is going to need a server for their data and being
able to provide them that service is a good thing IMO.
