Another nonobvious place to find Linux is on telephone voice applications. If you dial your automated bank, weather report, utilties, anything that says "press or say 1 for billing, press or say 2 for supoort, ..." chances are very good that's either Linux or BSD on the far end.

This is especially true if it's hosted VoiceXML.
