I wonder if there are reliable statistics anywhere on what distributions a 
potential Linux user is likely to encounter in the business world?  Give that 
you can pick your own on your own machine, what are you likely to be expected 
to be familiar with if you're, say, a sysadmin?

I would guess that the following order would be about right:

RedHat
Mandrake
Debian
SuSE

Just based on how often I see the various distros mentioned in HOWTO files and 
see drivers for them.
