I do.  I've recently set up a Linux file server and a Linux firewall for 
a client who is currently all windows.  We are discussing desktop 
possibilities right now.

My mother-in-law is also on Linux.  My daughter has a dual boot, so she 
can still play her games.  Her windows does not have network 
connectivity installed.
