SunCityJodhpurLUG : Message: Re: [SunnyLUG] French parliament switches to Linux

Ubuntu, I must say is a wonderful distribution. Installing softwares on ubuntu is a breeze. Ubuntu is based on debian but debian ,at the core, doesn't do somethings that ubuntu does and does it fantastic. I lately installed Ubuntu when my Mandriva distro was gone. I am really enjoying Ubuntu and the great GNU/Linux at the core!!

The French parliament has chosen Ubuntu to power the desktop computers of its representatives and their assistants.

Parlement Français is to dump Windows for the Linux distribution on 1,154 desktop systems before the start of the next parliamentary session in June.

The systems will also adopt a series of open source tools to run the OpenOffice productivity suite that is bundled with most Ubuntu downloads, as well as the open source Firefox browser.
