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.

It's ironic that the next version of Windows (after Vista) is intended to be
called Vienna, IIRC.
