French Ministry of Equipment moving to Linux

[Flatline]

I guess it makes sense that they would use Mandrake, since it is a French company. Thought some here might be interested.

Its is starting to be do or die time for linux (at least in Europe) . I personally have all the confidence in the world.

I like the fact that companies and government agencies are looking into alternatives to Microsoft products. No matter which way they decide to go in the end, at least they are beginning to realize that other products exist and are (at least on the surface) examining their viability. Competition is good.

The US government does spend lots of money on companies other than Microsoft. They spend a lot of money on Microsoft products too... But still.
