    What about those companies deploying linux desktops in masse in public
    organizations? From time to time appear in the news some big European
    city or government department that has migrated their desktops to
    Linux.

That's impossible.  Linux is just a kernel -- it cannot run a desktop
machine by itself.  It does not even have a no user interface.

So I think you must be referring to the GNU/Linux operating system.
Many people call that "Linux", but doing so is not fair to the GNU
Project.  So please don't do that.

See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html for more explanation,
and http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html for background.

Making the users of GNU aware that they're using GNU is good for
all GNU packages, including GNOME.
