German Linux migration not a taxing decision
The tax authority in Lower Saxony, Germany is migrating 12,000 desktops to SuSE Linux and the open source KDE desktop.
The project, which is moving the taxmen’s PCs onto open software, is “one of the most important in the history of IT” at the office, according to the regional tax office in Hanover. The systems are moving from Solaris x86 version 8, which the organisation has been running since 2002.
