Hi !
According to the reliable sources, press releases and media coverage the largest Linux migration (several millions of PCs and servers currently running Windows XP/Vista and MS Servers) ever is about to start.
The first news come from national-wide Russian Post service (state-owned company) which signed an agreement with Red Hat and IBM to switch MS-based platform to Red Hat Linux and Open Referent.
For a project of this size I find it odd they chose Red Hat (or IBM for that matter).
You would almost think they would chosen ALT or started their own distro for a project of this size. An why hire IBM? The Russian linux community is well regarded, and probably at least as well versed as IBM.
After that big inventment IBM made in SuSE/Novell, its odd they didn't push SLED.
Maybe they did not want M$? (sick joke..) -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)
