[ubuntu-dk] Fransk politi sparer 50 millioner euro med Ubuntu

Me like!

"According to Guimard the move to open source has also helped to reduce
maintenance costs. Keeping GNU/Linux desktops up to date is much easier, he
says. "Previously, one of us would be travelling all year just to install a
new version of some anti virus application on the desktops in the
Gendarmerie's outposts on the islands in French Polynesia. A similar
operation now is finished within two weeks and does not require
travelling.""

Me like even more ;ø)

Den sidste del af artiklen synes jeg nok er mest interessant, nemlig at
management giver store besparelser. Tænk hvor meget det må koste at have
en mand rejsen rundt et HELT ÅR!?! 

Jeg er også vild med den måde de har valgt at fremføre projektet på.
Ved at tage det i små bidder har de sikret at de når frem uden at tabe
nogen, eller misse noget undervejs.

Klart en historie, som der skal fremvises på ved bodden til "Open
source-software i det  offentlige".
