Hi Barclay, I'm not 100% positive but I think it would be a _very_ safe bet as they are already SuSE customers on record (SuSE Firewall).
http://www.suse.de/en/business/products/suse_business/firewall/customer_refe rences.html http://www.suse.de/en/company/customer_references/de/pdf/schwaebischhall.pdf SuSE will be coming out with their �ber-desktop distro sometime early in Q1/2003 http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/27832.html ..which I think makes it even more likely that SuSE is what they'll be deploying. Check it out.

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. Barclay Marcel: Most probably Suse?
