Lower Saxony KDE Migration
==========================

   ZDNet reports on a recent German Linux migration
[http://news.zdnet.co.uk/0,39020330,39274196,00.htm] by the tax
authority in Lower Saxony which has made the decision to migrate an
impressive 12,000 desktops to SuSE Linux using KDE.  The project, which
is now in process converting 300 desktops daily, moves systems from
Solaris x86 version 8, which the organisation has been running since
2002.  The migrations are reported as going well thus far. KDE's Kiosk
[http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kiosktool/] desktop customisation, source
code access and licensing costs were cited as key reasons for the
decision.  Congratulations to all involved, and best of luck going
forward with this effort!
