French Ministry Boots Windows NT For Linux
In another European win for Linux against Microsoft Corp., a French ministry is
replacing 1,500 Windows NT computers with Linux systems, the supplier of the
open-source operating system said Friday.
The Ministry of Equipment and Transport has swapped more than 100 NT computers
for machines running Mandrakelinux Corporate server software, and plans to
replace the rest on a monthly basis until the project is completed,
Mandrakesoft said. Computer maker Dell Inc. is providing the hardware for the
migration, which started in November 2003.
The Paris-based ministry, which maintains airports, roads, seaports and other
infrastructure, has 100,000 agents throughout the country. The agency's
information technology infrastructure includes 60,000 workstations and 2,000
Windows NT servers.
The current project migrates 1,500 office and infrastructure servers,
Mandrakesoft said. The Paris-based company is also providing training and
support for the systems. Financial details were not disclosed.
Europe has become a battleground between Microsoft and Linux distributors, as
several governments have opted to replace Microsoft products with open-source
software to reduce licensing fees. The city of Munich, for example, has begun
an open-source rollout, and governments in the United Kingdom and the city of
Paris are considering Linux. Also, earlier this week, Dell unveiled its first
line of desktops equipped with Linux for the European market.
The number of organizations replacing Windows NT servers is expected to
increase significantly, since Microsoft is no longer committed to issuing
critical security fixes for the aged operating system. The software maker isn't
ending patch development, but is only providing it to corporate customers that
sign a custom-support agreement.
In response to Microsoft's plans, high-tech researcher Gartner Inc. last week
recommended that organizations migrate off of NT, with priority assigned to
people whose jobs carry a higher risk of legal or financial losses.
It was a hot summer night, her and I were parked up in the mountains where we could see the town and beautiful lake below. After a wonderful night out on the town, what more could I expect? It was our fourth date, and she had already hinted towards a number of sexual innuendos. As I sit there letting my mind wander, I can feel her breath upon my ear getting warmer and warmer, but she is not going any further.
After 5 minutes of feeling her breath on my eat and anticipating the expected tongue, I realize that she is trying to say something to me. Perhaps she is trying to arouse me with sweet talk, or informing me to take my clothes off.
I decide to turn my hearing aid up to find out that she thinks I'm a fucking prick and she wants to go home because I don't listen to her.
Make America grate again!
