Slightly OT but has anyone seen the computers (POS) at Cafe Coffee days. The ones I've seen seem to be running some form of linux (this is readily apparent as the mouse pointer keeps turning into an X at times). It probably is RHEL or some other dinosaur distribution (please spare the flames, I use RHEL at work too)

Another OT: The counter at Aundh for Shivneri bus reservations use linux, most probably ubuntu, cause it looked similar. I asked the girl how does she find it? She replies no headaches since it started, I asked her absolutely none? Then she replied yeah sometime when the BSNL internet is down. I just grinned.

If any firm or business use a Linux in Indian market its got to be RHEL, Red hat has the best support in India be it the implementation or the backend, apart from that people like easy configuration at low cost thats what Red Hat delivers. Top it up with poor marketing by Canonical and Novel in Asian Market !

This is true in terms of RHEL support. Many of the companies that I've worked with, however, tend to install RHEL and never bother to buy the support. It's about as good as running CentOS (which they should've done in the first place). The support contracts for RHEL are also pretty expensive.
Agreed that Novell and Canonical need stronger marketing in India to get it to work in the enterprise.
