Linux won again the Government!

[1ballistic1 at gmail.com]

for the english ones....from the blog of Savoir-Faire Linux
http://blogs.savoirfairelinux.net/cyrilleberaud/PressRelease-20080316.pdf

The english version is a bit limited, but we've seen the story before:
The department didn't RFP like they should have, gave the job to
someone("Compugen").

Searching "RRQ Compugen" will pull it up too, but the rest of the links
are french.

Pity it's 2 years old though.
