BE: Ubuntu GNU/Linux for desktop PCs public library in city of Boom
,----[ Quote ]
| The public administration of the city of Boom is using Ubuntu for ten new
| publicly accessible desktop PCs in its public library. The Boom library is

| "The city council has decided to replace out-dated desktop PCs by ten very
| fast Linux-PCs running Ubuntu", the administrations writes on its web
| site. "The PCs will have a broad band Internet connection and can be used for
| a thirty minutes, or more if there are no other users waiting."

Acquia Provides Support to Bring College Mogul on Drupal Back Up
,----[ Quote ]
| Drupal has won Best Overall Open Source CMS Award for the second year in a
| row as well as Best PHP Open Source CMS by Packt Publishing. After working at
| Acquia for the past few months and learning about the Drupal phenonemon, it
| comes as no surprise. I only wish I knew about Drupal earlier so I wouldn't
| have wasted time toying with WordPress. WP is a nice platform, and you can
| build great blogs on the software, but Drupal is able to take content
| management to the next level. Drupal gives you the ability to build a social
| network on top of your blog, add group functionality, profiles, blog
| networks, or build sophisticated social publishing sites.
