RichiH writes "Notwithstanding the recent craze about Ubuntu and the negative effects this might have, the german city of Munich chose Debian as the base for its LiMux project. Gonicus and SoftCon are the companies who were chosen to achieve this feat.

    Linux ,Linux über alles, ,
    Über alles in der Windows Welt,
    Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
    als unix zusammenhält,
    Von der GNU bis zu Herr Linus,
    Von G.R.U.B bis IPTables -
    Linux , Linux über alles,
    Über alles in der Windows Welt.
