Andalucia Adopts Free Software

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."

VA Software Shares skyrocket!!!

[Anonymous Coward]

Wednesday 26th March 2003

REUTERS - NASDAQ traders revealed today that there has been a massive surge in the purchase of VA Software (LNUX) shares. The company, which has been in financial difficulty for some time, has had 57% of its shares purchased by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB).

Jonathan Mason, a spokesman for the Kimberly-Clark Corporation, confirmed the purchase to Reuters reporters earlier today. "We're very pleased with the acquisition of the VA stock. We now have a cheap alternative for acquiring raw materials for our products. VA shares are less than worthless, and we plan on using the share ceritifcates to make all of our toilet paper for the North American market."

Analysts predict that the use of the share certificates will enable KMB to greatly increase the output of bog roll for the financial year 2002/3. The remaining materials will be used to create bandages for hospital patients who have gangrenous infections.

Kimberly-Clark also has the option to take up the remaining 43% of VA Stock in December 2002. Inside sources reveal that if this is taken, the assets of the company will be removed and its staff made redundant. IT specialists at KMB tell us that they plan to reformat Slashdot servers as Microsoft .NET platforms, which will deliver a new proprietary application. The software will help tourism firms provide penguin hunting expeditions all year round by targetting large populations of the species.

Wow! This is great news! - seriously, who cares?

Is this the "LookWhatOtherNoNamePlaceUsesLinux.com" website, or Slashdot? I mean really. Im glad people are using Linux, and OS/2, and OSX, and anything else, but uh... so one place no ones ever heard of adopts Linux as their OS of choice today and Slashdot posts about it? I wonder how many people setup a new environment based on Windows today? Or OSX? or IRIX, or Solaris? Post some of the places on that.
