Munich's Move To Linux Exceeds Target

Posted by timothy on from the unterpromise-ueberdeliver dept.

jrepin writes "In May 2003, Munich's city council resolved to migrate municipal workstations from Windows to Linux and open source. Munich's LiMux project has announced that it has exceeded its annual target for migrating the city's PCs to its LiMux client. To date in 2011, the project has migrated 9,000 systems; it had originally planned to migrate 8,500 of the 12,000-15,000 PC workstations used by city officials in Munich."

    Have you SEEN the horrible job the communists did? Germany was a neat experiment with the whole GDR shit and after the wall fell it became pretty damn clear which side is better at management. West Germany is still paying for the shitty management of the commies (in the form of a solidarity fee, used to bring the former GDR states up to speed).
