Look for a mixed house. Very few companies even try to use one OS exclusively. At my current workplace, we have Solaris, Linux and Windows stacked floor to ceiling across more than an Acre of Data Center space. Within the environment, different people are recognized as experts on different platforms and expected to administer accordingly.
I.e. I am one of the Linux guys and I am in a department where everyone else is a Cisco or Firewall specialist. End result I do Linux 40 hours or more, each week, and once in a while help out with hardware, Windows, Networking etc...
This is a phone company/ISP with 2.1 Million customers (in a 2.7 Million person country). So there may not be an identical company in your area. However, look out for those features, which may have contributed to my ability to find work doing Linux full time here.

ISP
