In Portugal, the Citizen's Id Card will be a Smart Card in a couple of years. There were procedures taken by the Ministery of Justice to ensure that nobody was left outside so, as a Portuguese Citizen, I'm hoping that I'll be able to use it all the way ( and I don't have windows nor OSX).
The Ministery is using a identical system for internal porposes and they are switching to Linux (everywhere: the "non court" instances are done and the courts are switching this year) so this is good sign :)
