I work for the Volgenau School of Information Technology and Engineering at
George Mason University, quite a mouthful I know :).
We have a number of workstations (~200) running dual boot windows and linux,
two thirds of these  run Scientific Linux and one third FC5.  We run FC5 on
those machines because of hardware support.  The sata device is not well
supported in SL.  We also have around 30 servers.  We run a a mix of Solaris
9/10 and Linux.  Most of the Linux systems are either CentOS or Scientific
Linux, however we have a small number of systems running FC 2 and FC3 again
for hardware support at the time they were installed.  This includes our
primary NFS server which runs FC3.  We used to run more FC systems, however
we are migrating to AFS and have selected Scientific Linux as our primary
platform because of it's OpenAFS integration.
