The UKUUG spring conference included a talk on Digital Forensics by
someone who gets hired by the police -- in questions afterwards he said
that he rarely/never gets calls asking him to analyse GNU/Linux systems
(despite being perfectly capable, and IIRC saying that he preferred
using Free Software tools).

He was unwilling to speculate whether this is because criminals don't
use GNU/Linux, or whether the ones that do don't get caught.  ;-)

Cheers, Phil.
