Major Linux Migrations: An Unbelievable List of Nearly 100 From
Around the Globe <http://www.suseblog.com/?p=340>
by Scott Morris @ 6:58 am. Filed under Linux migrations
<http://www.suseblog.com/?cat=28>
Thoroughly thrilled at the thought of Munich’s progress switching to
Linux
<http://www.computerworlduk.com/toolbox/open-source/blogs/index.cfm?entryid=866&blogid=14>,
I have actually been tracking and logging such migrations for a long
time. As a matter of fact, on my OpenSUSE Linux blog
<http://www.suseblog.com/>, I offer a course wherein I explore all of
the migrations of which I am aware. I wanted to share that list with ya’ll.
The explosive growth of the Linux operating system has literally taken
the world by storm and by surprise. With the many migrations to Linux,
my interest was piqued. I wanted to delve into the details of who was
actually switching. Is all of the excitement just from the novelty of a
few groups switching over? Or is all the excitement coming from
migration after migration of many different organizations? Are that many
people /really/ making the switch?
So I hit the trail, hoping to create some kind of order out of the
chaos. For several months, I searched out relevant articles outlining
migrations to Linux. When it was finally finished, I compiled it all here.
After some extensive research, I uncovered some fascinating trends in
Linux migration. Check out this impressive list of companies,
organizations, and other entities who have switched over to Linux:

Conclusion
Summarily, a great many are switching to Linux. Remember that the list
of migrations provided above is not comprehensive. As a matter of fact,
it would be quite impossible to include them all. Even with this limited
amount of research, it is obvious that there are some major players
making the move. And it’s not just a couple of small-time organizations,
unless you consider the U.S. Military small-time.
Evidently, several banks have switched to Linux, also. Why would they
make the switch to Linux? They must trust in its security. A bank has a
great deal to lose if its security is breached.
Could it be that Linux is a great option? Evidence makes it sure appear
to be, doesn’t it?
Linux has a great deal to offer. It is a robust operating system used by
major military and governmental organizations throughout the world. At
the same time, it is easy enough that my grandmother could use it. And
it is free. And it is rock-solid secure. Incredible, to say the least.
Thinking about migrating? No time like the present.

Scott, many thanks for compiling such a comprehensive list! It’s
very rewarding to see the work of the Linux and open source
community get adopted on such a grand scale. No matter the
industry, size of organization, or geography, Linux is delivering
increasing value every day. I’d like to mention a list of
customers we’ve collected at Novell who have migrated from UNIX to
Linux, available at
http://www.novell.com/linux/unixtolinux/references.html . It
includes names ranging from Office Depot and the Finland Ministry
of Defense to Audi and even Sesame Workshop (producer of Sesame
Street).

Scott, thank you for such invaluable information on Linux. This is
so encouraging. Many years ago, as a CorelDraw user, I was pleased
that Corel came out with a Linux OS and CorelDraw in Linux. I
remember sending a note of thanks to Michael Cowpland (president
of Corel at the time). Unfortunately the entire Corel Linux
endeavor was discontinued. The Corel Linux OS was sold to Xandros.
We all know the success of Xandros and the eee pc by Asus. Kudos
to both companies. It’s great to have my Thinkpad in Ubuntu. Many
of my friends are migrating to Ubuntu and other linux flavors. I
believe Linux has finally come of age for the home user. Thank
you, to the open source community..no more blue screen!

the home user, I agree. Spread the word! Thanks for stopping by!

ps. I think you should follow the Pixar thing further; Dreamworks
make all their films on Linux (Shrek etc), and I read that
basically all special effects post 2002 for every Hollywood film
are rendered on Linux (Lord of the Rings, StarWars, HarryPotter…)

BobCFC,
Great point. Somehow, that one got missed. Just goes to show that
this list isn’t even comprehensive. There could be many, many more
out there than the ones I have listed here. Nice thoughts, man.
Thanks for stopping by!

My 2 cents about Russia.
Government don’t use Linux here at all - IBM intentions of 2003
didn’t result in something noticeable. However, when Microsoft
started it’s “licensing crusade” in 2007 and proposed a deal to
supply all government and educational organisations with licenses,
The Ministry of Finance forbade that deal (too expensive).
Instead, about $3 million were given to support development of
comprehensive open source programs’ package for educational and
governmental needs. Educational version was developed in 2007
based on Russian Alt Linux distribution and now enters it’s second
adoption stage (first stage was limited “test-drive” in 3 of 83
regions of Russian Federation, second stage that planned up to end
of 2009 is adoption throughout entire Russia). “Governmental”
version as far as I know is still in development.
my English is far from good, sorry for that )))
