This might be one of the largest government agencies making a whole sale change to Ubuntu and leaving Microsoft behind. Ubuntu Linux is a free open source operating system that can very capably replace a Microsoft Windows operating system. This article describes how France’s national police force will change all 90,000 of their computers to Ubuntu by 2015, and they have already saved more than $50 million dollars with their efforts so far.
French police: we saved millions of euros by adopting Ubuntu – Ars Technica.
I loaded Ubuntu linux on my laptop and it loaded my usb wireless adapter without problem. After I downloaded some driveres etc i got it to play windows media files and internet radio. User friendly and easy to install. They have come a long way since my previous try at Linux.
I’m still playing with Ubuntu on a ME & Ubuntu dual boot very old computer and I can see why they are migrating to ubuntu. As I find solutions for my unique requirements such as learning to use Wine for a few windows applications, I am getting closer to 100% ubunto every day. I am VERY unlikely to EVER use Vista!
That’s great to hear. Unless you need Windows programs, Ubuntu is an excellent choice.
