Peugeot converts 20 000 desktops to Linux
August 11th, 2007 | Linux by thNovell scores a big customer as Peugeot is slated to become one of the few large scale conversions to desktop Linux. Peugeot will convert 20 000 desktops to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, and will purhase 2500 SUSE Linux Enterprise Servers.
The usual claim in conversions like this is the training ‘because Linux is so much harder than Windows’. Well, gladly Peugeot seems to prove it wrong: “The new desktops do not require any special training, except for a quick, double page set of explanations”. Congratulations to Peugeot for dumping Windows in 20k workstations! I can hear chairs flying at Redmond…
