Munich Votes for Linux Migration Plan
JoScherl writes "The German news site Heise reports (German, Babelfish version) that the city council of Munich (3rd biggest city in Germany, 1.3 million inhabitants) has voted for the detailed concept of the LiMux - Linux for Munich (German, Babelfish version) project with votes from all parties except the CSU (Christlich Soziale Union, christion social union). With this decision the 13,000 Desktops and Servers of the city administration will be migrated to Linux. CSU, which has just won the European elections, said they won't support Linux since its Feierabendprogrammierer ('leisure-time coders') would destroy Munich's IT-landscape (Microsoft Germany and other big companies are located in and around Munich) and they also fear that the personnel would have problems with learning how to use OpenOffice and other migrated systems. The migration plan has the following steps: This year the Windows NT desktops get OpenOffice and Mozilla as their default office and browsing suite. In 2005 and 2006 the systems will be migrated to Linux, with some applications running on Windows application servers. In 2008 all applications should run native on Linux."
votes from all parties except the CSU - Chicken Shit Union
Anyone seen my jagged little pill?
It worships Linux, go away you Apple shill.

Yes CSU is a sister party of the CDU. However the CSU is MORE right wing than the CDU. At least the CDU can be considered semi progressive, whereas the CSU is nothing more than a bunch of anti-foreigner, anti-modern old fuddy duddy's.
These folks make Bush look semi liberal! The worst part is that I actually voted for these baffoons.
