[News] A Story of Migration to GNU/Linux in Government Department

At the expense of GNU/Linux.

,----[ Quote ]
| It all occurred in a government department where an IT lady had a great idea 
| about converting their computers to GNU/Linux. Let's call her Gillian. 
| Gillian was assigned to research GNU/Linux and found out that it would meet 
| all the needs her department required and could be easily used instead of 
| Microsoft Windows. Moreover, this switch to open source software would save 
| them a lot of money. Gillian made a nice proposition outlined in a paper that 
| documented all the steps she and her IT coworkers needed to take for this 
| transition to happen. A lot of people liked her idea and thought it was 
| feasible. Gillian even managed to convince the higher-ups who thought it was 
| a good idea as well. However, like in all bureaucracies large or small, she 
| still needed to get approval from the management.
