There are tons of "invisible" business installations of Linux beyond Cisco.
The United States Postal Service, for example, runs all their mail-sorting
computers (you know those bar codes on the bottom of your letters?  These
are the machines that read that and sort appropriately) on Linux.

There's also a lot of smaller uses of Linux.  Here in Utah, one of the large
local grocery chains runs everything on Linux.
