Right--I really want Windows or Mac OS running the firmware in my
routers and DSL modem...
I'll posit that Linux has made a bigger splash not as a desktop
environment (which is what mostly distinguishes the many flavors of the
thing) but as embedded and server software. I was a bit surprised to
find that my home thermostat was running BusyBox.
Oh, yeah, I'm running FreePBX on the computer that manages
my home phone system (Linux-based).
The PHONES (Snom 300's) run Linux! In fact, I think most
VOIP phones have embedded Linux kernels in them.
