Munich's Move To Linux Exceeds Target
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."
Your post sounds pretty unbelievable. The Finance databases are now always available? So they moved the database servers from Windows to *nix? I'm not going to point fingers but if you can't keep a Windows DB server up it's a people problem not a software problem. Though personally unless it's MS SQL I wouldn't have had it on a windows server anyways. But still, that's interesting that your database servers were moved and now are stable. Interesting as in what assclown was admining them before?
Log-in's I can see. Windows XP load slow but the 10 minutes are login scripts and bad people writing scripts
What apps? The ones that were completely rewritten to run natively on your new *nix environment? *boggle*
Sorry you no longer have exchange. It's easily the best mail server out there.
Sucks you still have 2001 concerns in 2011. Most places aren't hammered with virus every week.
Glad your happy, but I don't take your post at face value. At least not with the drivel you wrote about.
