Indian Courts have been using Ubuntu for over a decade.

The Indian armed forces are evaluating the shift to an Ubuntu-based distro that is developed locally this august.
I know that the first one hasn't held up. I know a few people in the high court circles who have no idea what Linux is and exclusively use AND are asked to use windows specific software.
The second link looks promising. Thanks for sharing!
