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."

    What will you tell your children when they ask you why using an operating system that was free and therefore obviously developed by terrorists was more fun than using Windows?

    We'll tell them that we changed the fries on parliament menu to "Ubuntu Fries" as revenge.
