Assess open source products' solvency for your client's sake
,----[ Quote ]
| In November 2006, The 451 Group published a survey regarding the use of open
| source software to save money. What the survey revealed is interesting: As
| you might imagine, cost is the main motivation for turning to open source.
| However, cost isn’t always the primary benefit. Many IT professionals found
| that reduced dependency on vendors and flexibility were just as important as
| the money they saved. The continuing success of open source products was easy
| to predict.

Linux s'il vous plaît: French Gendarmie say oui to Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| The Gendarmie Nationale – France’s national police force – has been slowly
| introducing open source software to its 105,000+ policemen since 2005. In
| 2008 the decision was made to use only Ubuntu for all new workstations. A
| year on shows this has been a great success with happy users, a better
| network and cost savings of over seven million euro per year.
