Basically, the French paramilitary police are replacing Microsoft XP on 70,000 desktops with Ubuntu. Quote from Colonel Nicolas Geraud, deputy director of the gendarmerie's IT department. "We will introduce Linux every time we have to replace a desktop computer," he said, "so this year we expect to change 5,000-8,000 to Ubuntu and then 12,000-15,000 over the next four years so that every desktop uses the Linux operating system by 2013-2014." http://www.physorg.com/news120930030.html Chris -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
