I saw this last week on the BBC News 24 channel. Unfortunately, it
didn't show any example screenshots of the OSS they are using. They
only managed a screenshot of XP and a shot of the MS HQ in Brazil (a
very impressive building - showing how much they have been profiting
from a county which cannot afford their software).
As Brazilian I could say for you:
Lula's brazilian government is using Freedows (made by Cobra, a local
IT business), a Linux Port with Windows layout. Other options (adopted
by some of "PC Conectado" factories, like Semp Toshiba and Itautec)
are Insigne Linux and Mandriva (although I didn't heard anyone using
Mandriva).
The packages are a more-or-less-common distribution: KDE, OOo,
Firefox, Thunderbird, the GIMP, and so on.
In the government I know that is very intense the use of Debian, and I
believe that, as Cobra is partly owned by the Brazilian Government via
"Banco do Brasil" (Brazil's Bank) - the Cobra's biggest isolated
shareholder - Freedows are in a rush.
