Moved over to Linux where the experience of the users and administrators
translated easily.

But don't count proprietary Unix out yet.  There is still a lot of AIX
and quite a bit of Solaris out there.  And isn't HP-UX still available?

All were used by various agencies of the US Government and while people
here still like to point at the government as a big VMS user I suspect
they still have more proprietary Unix than VMS.
