Basic email and data storage systems should be on secure systems, which means on linux, specialist equipment should not be networked if it is vulnerable to hacking.

The governments of a number of Spanish autonomous communities have switched their government and educational systems wholly to Linux and have saved millions - as well as supporting a local software industry. They have produced localised versions with programs tailor made and using local languages.
