Munich Begins to Switch Windows Out for Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Since Tuesday, the first 100 of the city?s 14,000 PCs have been switched 
| from Microsoft?s Windows operating system and Office applications to Linux 
| and OpenOffice.
| 
| [...]
| 
| The configuration is based on Linux Distribution Debian GNU/Linux 3.1,
| the KDE 3.5 user interface and OpenOffice 2.
|

| 
| In September, the Norwegian city decided to focus on building an
| e-government portal first and later migrate its Windows-based systems to
| a Linux environment.
| 
| Vienna is another big European city with ambitious plans to roll out Linux
| in its public administration.
