I was visiting a (german) police station a few weeks ago. They use GNU/Linux 
with the windowmaker WM, I guess SuSE is their flavor. I asked the 
fifty-something-year-old officer if there where problems regarding usability 
and the GUI. He said "No, there are no problems, it is just like any computer 
should be." I am sure he didn't have to install it by himself, but there seem 
to be no problems with everyday use of Linux in german police stations. 

I think that's cool. Police officers are not geeks in general...
