I think it depends on which distribution you use. Some distributions
have a more knowledgable user base (i.e. SuSE, Slackware). They are
usually more accepting of other UNIXs, and sometimes even advocate the
use of other UNIXs. As an example, let me point out that in the last two
days on the SuSE mailing list, one user recommended the use of OpenBSD
for a firewall. There has also been a discussion about the Maxtor
controversy where the tone has been very positive towards FreeBSD.
Not every Linux user is a zealot.
