Where is Largest Linux Desktop Install?

Posted by Cliff on 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?

    0. We have two FreeBSD machines, but they act web and email servers respectively, not clients. For better or for worse, Windows (particularly 2000 and XP) are best for desktop usage.
