“According to the latest figures from IT job site Dice.com,
Windows had the most OS job listings on October 1 with 8,865
postings, but the tally was 8% less than the 9,643 Windows
opportunities that had been advertised at the start of the
year.

“Linux ranked third (behind Unix) with 6,168 postings in
October. But in contrast to Windows, Linux postings grew by 6%
during the year, increasing from 5,839 jobs listed on January
5.

“Specific listings for Red Hat Inc., meanwhile, increased nearly
4% from last January, but postings for Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise
skills dropped 14% during the same period.”
