Israeli Gov't Begins Testing Mandrake Linux

Posted by timothy on from the right-to-left dept.

DJStealth writes "According to this article on Arutz 7/Israel National News, the Israeli Gov't is beginning to move away from Microsoft and is testing localized versions of Mandrake Linux in the Treasury dept. as the contract with MS expires this month. This all despite a recent defense ministry contact with MS."

    My mind's eye sees people with Tux sandwich boards on running around saying "DIE PALESTINIANS!!!" followed by loud "BANG"s and people screaming.

    In other news, the palestinians who blow israelis to bits still use Microsoft Office. Damn shame.
