Most of my experience with Linux is in a commercial context (I run a Linux
support and consultancy business). Linux in that context is perceived
(mostly) as more reliable that the obvious alternative. Sometimes price is
mentioned, but it's mostly stability. Geek never enters into the
conversation, although to be fair most of the people I talk to are
business people, and I suspect Linux and Windows are equally geeky to them.
