Lower Saxony KDE Migration

An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet reports on a recent German Linux migration by the tax authority in Lower Saxony which has made the decision to migrate an impressive 12,000 desktops to SuSE Linux using KDE. The project, which is now in process converting 300 desktops daily, moves systems from Solaris x86 version 8, which the organisation has been running since 2002. The migrations are reported as going well thus far. KDE's Kiosk desktop customisation, source code access and licensing costs were cited as key reasons for the decision. Congratulations to all involved, and best of luck going forward with this effort!"

before you start picking at the K naming thing, remember that Apple does the same with the "i", think iPod, iCal, iBook and Microsoft with well "Microsoft" word, excel etc and of course Gnome with the "G". So KDE is not alone here plus if you think about it, K is kinda Kool :P
