Linux Question

what version of linux do most companies use for there servers?

a co worker wants to learn linux but he wants to learn about the one that he will be running into in the working world.
i told him SuSe professional, but i didnt know if that one was a well known, and widely used OS by companies.

I think Red hat is most common for enterprise servers.

It really depends on the company where I work we have Red hat, solaris, freebsd, and Fedora Core.

SuSE is quite popular with many enterprise level companies. Since Novel took them over, it has been expanding rapidly. I would guess it is a closr race between RedHat and SuSE. The good thing is that they work in a simular fashon, so learning one will briing you great strides closer to learning the other.
