Andalucia Adopts Free Software

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the welcome-to-the-hotel-california dept.

InodoroPereyra writes "Browsing Linux Today I found a link to an HispaLiNUX article stating that Andalucia goes OpenSource. More specifically, "All public educational centre necessities are intended to be fulfilled, first of all, with Free Software [...] It is compulsory to all hardware acquired by official educational centres to be fully compatible with Free Software operating systems. Furthermore, it must be preinstalled in all new bought computers". Andalucia is a region located to the South of Spain, with about 7.5 million inhabitants. This is an important follow-up to the many stories on Linux in Extremadura."

    I may get flamed on this but I don't like forcing use of O.S. , it's just as stupid as forcing to use Microsoft. Use the best tool for what you need I'd say. And if you often need to exchange files with Office users, let's face it, then you don't want to be hassled by small incompatibilities of import/export filters.
