A Public Library's Linux Success Story

Posted by timothy on from the miller-branch-rules dept.

Joe Barr writes "What with the spate of professionally PR-generated FUD coming out of Redmond about Linux not being open source, or Windows having a lower TCO, and - believe it or not - even a claim that Windows is more reliable, it's good to read about some real world, grass-root results of successful migrations from Windows to Linux. This story at NewsForge takes a look at the Howard County (Maryland) Public Library's roll-out of over 200 public-use PCs, which used to run on Windows and now run on a custom Linux distribution called Lumix."

    If you're tired of MS ads then why are you reading slashdot? The only site with more MS ads than slashdot is hotmail.
