More future wins for Linux!

Yawn... How's that costly Munich Linux fiasco coming along? Largo FL and its 2 Linux servers? Bergen Norway which didn't drop MS? Sun's 200,000,000 Java Desktop deal with China that fell through?

If Linux/OSS weren't free of cost, it would be a bigger flop than it is now.

Rumors go that all Andorra students moved to Linux desktops as well! That will teach them in Redmond! Sad day for Microsoft!

(Macedonia) Announcement: Citizens Have the Right to Choose

,----[ Quote ]
Considering that the computer literacy trainings for the general
population announced by the Government of Republic of Macedonia
are in general a positive move for development of information
society, the Metamorphosis Foundation and the NGO Free Software
Macedonia encourage the Government to provide right to choose for
the citizens, by offering trainings for use of free and open
source (FOSS) also.

[...]

Macedonian citizens continue to show great interest in FOSS use.
The latest example is the support they collectively provided by
partially covering the expenses for publishing the CD "Get Your
Job Done," distributed in 5.000 copies.
