Another Linux Win in Europe
The French Government decided last week to replace 1500 of it’s WindowsNT servers with Mandrake based Linux servers:
The French Ministry of Equipment has chosen Mandrakelinux Corporate Server to replace 1,500 Microsoft Windows NT servers in a national scale deployment. Recently, Civil Service
Minister Renaud Dutreil was quoted in Reuters as saying “the competition is open” between open-source and Microsoft for the nearly one million government computers. Mandrakesoft is proud to supply the
operating system for the Ministry of Equipment deployment, and to supply open-source alternatives to governments around the world. - Mandrakesoft
1500 servers is a pretty big contract, congrats to Mandrake! Now, if only we could start getting the US government to start seeing the benefits of Open Source…
