Where is Largest Linux Desktop Install?

jackb_guppy asks: "Talking with Managers about Linux Training for staff. One asked a simple question: 'Where is the largest installed base of Linux desktops?' My guess the question was asked prove that there is no market, and I am unable to find an answer. I am guessing the next question will be: 'Largest site using Linux to replace MS desktops?' Anyone have a suggestion?" Just for fun, if any of you have Linux Desktops deployed in your department, can you give us some numbers?

Oh, no, please stop trolling me. 4 out of 27? Mod him down further.

If he'd said 0 out of 27 would that be flamebait? Maybe 26 out of 27 is insightful. Perhaps 20 out of 27 and providing a link to his company's homepage would be informative?

I guess somebody must've been giving mod points to cyborg_monkey or something.

Back on topic, we've possibly got a similar story to many companies: desktop pcs are all Win2k, but all development/web/file servers run RedHat.

I don't claim to have the biggest deployment of Linux, this post was mainly to rant at dumb moderators.
