The first time I saw Linux in a work environment was in '96 as a Samba file server on our office LAN, which was otherwise dominated by Windows NT machines. I think it was set up partly for novelty (someone wanted to play with Linux), and partly to save money on not buying one more Windows license.

Just like Linux we're (Samba) still around ：-）. Only now we can be an Active Directory Domain Controller as well as just a fileserver !
