[Joel Finlinson]

Have you looked on some of these links:

and in particular this one 

http://www.wired.com/news/linux/0,1411,42456,00.html

that says Mexico City turns to Linux 
[wired] Mexico City's municipal government announced plans to switch
city computers to the Linux operating system and to use the money it
saves to fund social welfare programs. It is estimated that this will
save the city millions of dollars. A similar program to switch schools
to Linux has already saved the government $3 million in Microsoft
licenses already.

These aren't "hard" numbers, but estimates. The largo IT guy says that
they save at least One Million Dollars each year.
