(clug-talk) German City opts for Linux and note for Marcel

[Barclay Hambrook ApecTec]

CITY OPTS FOR LINUX:

Linux software will replace programs made by Microsoft Corp. at
government offices in Schwaebisch Hall as the German city seeks
to save more than E100,000 a year. The city in the German state
of Baden-Wuerttemberg wants to complete the software change on
its 400 personal computers by the end of 2004, the city said on
its Web site. (Bloomberg)

PS: Some years ago, I consulted and lived in Baden Wuerttemberg in Germany. It is one of the most conservative provinces in all Germany. It made me think if the most conservative part of Germany is ready to embrace Linux, then Linux stands ready to spread even more rapidly.

Marcel: Most probably Suse?
