qatman, no i dont much know whether many companies here deploy linux, though i think some of them use linux boxes as basic firewalls,

well the server's i manage actually are not here locally but in DC's in US. Savvis, LayeredTech etc,

i doubt that even any webhosting companies are based here, im not sure if there is a DC here, though i think i read in news before that there was a new one...

most of the webhosting companies based here are based Off US DC's and or hosting companies leasing VPS.
