The U.K.'s National Health Service Licenses JDS

Posted by timothy on from the licensing-tactics dept.

deputydink writes "Recently the NHS licensed from Sun 5000 seats of its JDS system for tactical deployments within the health care service, adding that it deemed JDS a viable desktop alternative for certain types of user communities. The NHS has already deployed JDS in its back-office. This could be the high profile boost for JDS subscription services that Sun needs."

  5. Experience or Test-drive...? by bogaboga · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Any slashdotter with some experience or has test driven JDS? Though it is based on SuSE, I still found that even with the latest SuSE product, I still had to get M$ fonts to make my drive better. If these M$ fonts will be downloaded for all systems, what is the best method of doing it? I mean, doing it with the least overhead?

    Linux needs some serious work in this area.

  7. Interesting - Google for the word "jew"... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It is the ONLY word I have ever googled for and come across a Google disclaimer for the results.

    http://www.google.com/explanation.html

    Can search for "nigger", "towel head", "gook", "nip", "faggot" and you dont get a disclaimer, but serach for "jew" and google apologizes for the results! Whats up with that???

    Why are Jews so important that they get their own personal disclaimer on google? Stop giving yourselves preferential treatment, stop crying anti-Semitism every time you dont get your way, and people may stop disliking you!
