Not exactly a Linux desktop but - 
The Lotto shop terminals run linux (not sure what distro).
Also the Dept of Internal Affairs has a project to put gaming machine
controllers into every venue that has pokie machines installed. These
controllers are a small form factor PC(more of a cube) running Suse 9.2

Between lotto and the pokies that would add up to several thousand machines

Anyone got a list of local small business type (or local government or non 
profit) organisations who use Linux and might be willing to discuss their 
experiences etc of Linux with a small organisation who have never before 
heard of Linux and are liable to 'play it safe' and go for something that 
they've actually heard of?

(This is a Linux vs M$ SMS type thing)

Tony.

PS I found a nice corporate Windows vs Open Source document for them
