Hi all,

I was looking for an article on research into replacing windows PC's with 
the Linux operating system in the Finnish Public Sector but could not find 
it (its out there somewhere).
I did however came across this one, which might interest some of you.

Jan 19, 2002, from www.HelsinginSanomat.fi (largest national daily paper in 
Finland).
Translated from the Finnish article at:
http://www.helsinginsanomat.fi/arkisto/juttu.asp?id=20020119TA2
- 1/3 of large (>500 employees) Finnish companies "trust" Linux
- Over 50% of public sector entities are "researching" the option of 
replacing Windows with Linux (workstations). 34% use Linux servers, and 11% 
use it as workstations (these % must be non-exclusive of other OS types).
- Linux has 20 million users worldwide (tens of thousands in Finland)
- Nokia: "... Linux is not yet used on our office workstations, but we have 
used it in design and research..."

You can always push the article through a web translator to read more...

Will
