Actually, I know several journos who use Debian. It makes testing and
evaluating SW packages trivial.
Andrew Orlowski of The Register tends to use his iBook, Debian, and a
Symbian handheld (he's totally ga-ga over Symbian) as his core
platforms. Most of the main Reg staff run GNU/Linux in one form or
another -- Tom Greene, John Lettice, and Andrew.
Shankland's an old Unix admin, though I don't know what he runs these
days.
Peace.
