The Dundee Council has been running linux server since 1995 and so far i
believe its the only council in the UK although they have had a few other
councils interested in the idea.

The main IT guy did a presentation last year on what they are using.
although they still running win xp clients. they may be moving open office
in on client side in near future.

more details probably  available on request
