French Gendarmerie: "Open source desktop lowers TCO by 40%"

Using an open source desktop lowers the total cost of ownership by 40%,
in savings on proprietary software licences and by reducing costs on IT
management. Using Ubuntu Linux massively reduces the number of local
technical interventions, says Major Stéphane Dumond. "The direct
benefits of saving on licences are the tip of the iceberg. An
industrialised open source desktop is a powerful lever for IT governance."

The Gendarmerie now employs 37,000 Ubuntu Linux desktops. In the summer
of next year, it expects to have completed the switch, and will then
have 72,000 Ubuntu-Linux workstations. That makes it Europe's and
possibly world-wide the largest example of a public administration using
open source on workstations.

"It is possible to deploy thousands of Linux desktops. We did", the
Major said, speaking at the Evento Linux conference, which took place in
the city of Lisbon, Portugal, on 26 September.

2 remarques vite fait en passant ...

1- pkoi un article en englich alros que àa semble parler d'un truc
Français ?

2 - quel exploit, remplacer des machines à écrire, des terminaux texte,
et des Windows 3/95 qui exploitent un émulateur de terminal mode texte
et un write/wordpad par du nunux est jubiler que ça marche ..ouah ...

Encore heureux que ça marche pour un usage aussi peu polyvalent et
pouvant de contenter d'aussi peu de capacités et de ressources.

finalement qui s'étonne vraiment de la non-ampleur des usages de type
gendarmerie sur un poste client ? C'est le cas de 95 % (chiffre
pifométrique) des usages de type bureautique.

L'évolution des choses (cloud etc.) fait que le poste client se réd uit à
trois fois rien. Autant que ce soit un bidule robuste, increvable, dura ble
et pas cher : linux et un navigateur... Quel est l'intérêt d'y mett re un
woinwoin et un woworde ?
