Where is Largest Linux Desktop Install?

Posted by Cliff on Monday October 1, 2001 @04:43AM from the top-bird-o-the-icefloat dept.

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?

Speaking as someone who does IT projects throughout Latin America: the fact that it's taken over three years to get this project started in Mexico convinces me that it is true.
