French Parliament Chooses Ubuntu

Posted by kdawson on from the all-those-letters-are-silent dept.

atamyrat reminds us that last November it was announced that the French Parliament had decided to switch to Linux. At that time the distro had not been determined. It will be Ubuntu: "[T]wo companies, Linagora and Unilog, have been selected to provide the members of the Parliament as well as their assistants new computers containing free software. This will amount to 1,154 new computers running Ubuntu prior to the start of the next session which occurs in June 2007."

    Who is modding down all critique of Ubuntu? I use Ubuntu every day, and it is really a immature* piece of shit.

    (* as in immature software, not immature attitude)

    It feels as stable and coherent as Red Hat or SuSE 6 years ago. It needs lots of work to be a modern Linux distribution.
