Microsoft’s complex Netbook dance
CNET News
A segment that will grow enormously in time. Thankfully Linux is really easy to learn these days. Ubuntu has a good graphical interface and takes very little resources hence your little mini flies through tasks handily. Ubuntu comes fully featured too meaning there is no need to buy ffice and other feature software. I think that we may see a viable S offering from Google that will take off when it’s released.
French police: we saved millions of euros by adopting Ubuntu
Ars Technica
org across the entire organization. It gradually adopted other open source software applications including Firefox and Thunderbird. After the launch of Windows Vista in 2006 it decided to phase out Windows and incrementally migrate to Ubuntu. Moving from Microsoft XP to Vista would not have brought us many advantages and Microsoft said it would require training of users. Moving from XP to Ubuntu however proved very easy. At the current stage of the migration it has adopted Ubuntu on 5000 workstations. Based on the success of this pilot migration it plans to move forward and switch a total of 15000 workstations to Ubuntu by the end of the year.

KDE 3/4 … and PCLinuxS

I installed it on my laptop which is not the most Linux-friendly machine around – ATI graphics Broadcom wireless 1280×800 resolution etc. But PCLinuxS packaged all the ATI and Broadcom drivers (both open source broadcom drivers and NDISwrapper Windows drivers) properly detected and configured them and ran everything flawlessly even on the live CD. I’ve been able to make those things work on this lappy with Ubuntu as well and reasonably easily. But it took a little more tweaking. Also with wireless the config in PCLS is much better than Ubuntu’s.
