[opensuse] 12,000 seat SUSE KDE desktop win
Just reading ZDNet news that Novell/SUSE have picked up 12,000 new desktops, with around 300 a day currently being converted. The migration is from Solaris x86 version 8 to SUSE running under KDE at the Hannover based Lower-Saxony tax office. The deal, run by basysKom has been kept under wraps until now evidently. Porting started in April and should finish in September. Key reasons for the switch allegedly include SUSE's strong German support and that the development of KDE was part funded by the German Government. http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/linuxunix/0,39020390,39274196,00.htm Dave --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org

I don't really understand - are they crazy - run Solaris 8 on 12,000 desktops ? or I misunderstand something? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
