It can get pretty silly in any technical field:

Q: So, your resume says you've been a systems administrator for 10 years. Have you worked much with Linux?

A: Sure, almost all my experience has been with Linux.

Q: How much experience do you have with Red Hat. That is what we use here.

A: Hmmm. Red Hat. Most of the servers I've worked on are Debian based. But I worked a lot with Fedora in college.

Q: But not Red Hat?

A: Well I have some Red Hat experience. I had a temp job where I was setting up Red Hat servers back in 2008.

Q: How long was that.

A: About six months.

Q: Well, perfect! We have an internship available to someone with six months of Red Hat experience! But wait a minute... What version of Red Hat was that?

I've had this very interview, repeatedly, usually someone who doesnt know the difference between debian and a toaster oven.
