07/09/2004 08:40 AM

The French government has put its money where its mouth is and announced a deal to replace 1,500 copies of Microsoft NT server with home-grown open source Linux software from Mandrake. Several government departments, such as the Ministry of Culture, already use MandrakeLinux. But it recently said it was considering expanding its use of open source software. The Civil Service Minister Renaud Dutreil was quoted as saying 'the competition is open,' between Microsoft and Linux.
