Solaris. Big time.
I don't know if it would be easy or very difficult to find documentation
to back this up. It's one of those "everyone knows wallstreet uses
Solaris everywhere" kind of things, so it'd either be really easy to
find, or nobody will bother mentioning it because "everyone knows it."
Kind of like "Water is wet."
But I think I recall the IBM fellow (I can't remember his name now
dangit) mentioning that wallstreet was one of the big big markets that
IBM was trying to hit to replace all those Solaris boxen with IBM
mainframes running Linux.
