Another key issue about transfering to Linux are applications. Most bureaucrat terminals don't need a config meant for gamers and just need the OS, wordprocessor, spreadsheet, email, internet browser and almost nothing else at all. Except maybe a taylor made database based application that they may easily ask their supplier to adapt to Linux terminals. So transfering to Linux is not really a major headheach in at least 95% of the cases, once the client computer is properly configured and current doc files converted by the Linux supplier. Just putting 6 icons on the desktop will be enough for most people to keep going on with the new OS.
