Microsoft Alternative in Extremadura, Spain
grylnsmn writes "The Washington Post today has a front page article talking about how the Extremadura region in Spain is converting all government offices, businesses, and home from Windows to Linux. The article talks of their problems last spring and how the community banded together to solve them. "But the glitches are more an annoyance, [Ana Acevedo, who heads one of the government's document-processing units] said, than a hassle. 'It's mostly very tiny things,' she said." Overall, this is an important testbed for localities all over the world who are looking at making the switch. Overall, a very good and balanced article." Update: 11/03 20:37 GMT by T : Headline misspelled "Extremadura" as "Extramadura" -- fixed now.
You silly, silly little bitch. I didn't say anything about Windows in my post. I simply said that /. is getting damn redundant with all of the "switching to Linux" articles.
And yes, you do sound like a crazy zealot who's also trolling pretty hard.
This is so NOT US-Centric! Haleluja!
/. being US-Centric, Bravo!
As someone who bitched before about
Call me a bigot if you must, but to me, the exposure that the non-US and non-English speaking community is getting here is EVEN MORE refreshing and anti-monopolistic than the unseating of M$.
To be perfectly American about it, Yee-haw!
If Microsoft dies, what will Gnome and KDE copy?
Oh yeah... MacOS X....
