Congrats !!! No idea whether there is any other bigger Linux setup (not just Debian, but any Linux distro). But this IS a huge setup. Few questions popped up. Hope you will answer them for everybody's benefits. (Organisation name is not required) A. On what parameters selection of a particular distro is done. Pricing, support, stability etc. etc. B. Is the decision taken by some central IT department and imposed on all others or is it coming from user requirements across the country? C. How the organisation is going to get support? Inhouse? services from vendors or consultants? Outsourced activity completely? D. What is the typical configuration of desktops, servers. E. What was the timeframe to complete the project? F. What are the most troublesome situations you face during the whole exercise. Technical, manpower handling, financial etc. Any other points you wish to share with us. I am sure answers to these will be helpful to all the FOSS implementors as a reference point and even more to the people who are converting from non-FOSS to FOSS environment.
