City of Vienna Chooses Linux

Posted by timothy on from the penguins-ah-kuhl dept.

Bill Kendrick writes "Back in January, ZDNet reported that the city of Vienna, Austria was looking to move at least a portion of its desktops to Linux. Well, it looks like it happened (in German; use the fish). Their official distro is based on Debian with KDE, and is called WEINUX." Update: 07/06 12:49 GMT by T : Several readers wrote to correct the spelling here: the correct name of the distro is "WIENUX."

      When posting links to shock sites, it makes you look stupid if you use an image from such a well-known domain like "tubgirl."

    No you don't. The only alcoholic drink that is actually good is the old "16er Blech".

    parent scored a 2.. unbelievable :)

    16er, along with Schwechater and Egger are amongst the most disgusting brews of beer to ever wander the face of Austria.

    lucky bitches that we are, they still even outperform everything else that gets imported
    (with the exception of the fine brands from Czech) :)

    So, if you really want a taste of good Austrian beer try the following:

    -Hirter Märzen (if you like it tasty)
    -Villacher Märzen (if you like it dead-on)
    -Stiegl (if you like it kinda sweet)
    -Murauer (if you like it as grand addition to dinner)
    -Gösser (if you're into kinky stuff)

    No, Ottakringer is the right beer on a nice summer evening, simply because you can drink so many of them and will always want more (at least I do).

    In all other points, I totally agree, and would like to add some other beers:
    - everything from the Schlägl brewery (but especially their rye beer)
    - Grieskirchner Märzen (wonderful with Italian food like pizza and lasagne)
