Indeed. & Linux is digging in every quarter....

e.g.

http://www.vnunet.com/news/1161544

"Linux was the leading light in a worldwide server market that grew
5.1 per cent to $14.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2004, research has
indicated. According to IDC's latest Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker,
sales of Linux servers have been accelerating rapidly with 60 per cent
annual growth over the last year.

Linux servers generated $1.3 billion in quarterly revenue, representing 9.0
per cent of worldwide server revenue. It was also the second sequential
quarter of $1 billion-plus quarterly revenue. Overall, Linux server revenue
was found to have grown 35.6 per cent year over year, while unit shipments
grew 29.1 per cent year over year."

& where linux leads...BSD follows
