Linux wins over Windows in Sweden

Posted February 7th, 2007 by chris

I came across this news release today, which describes how the Swedish Armed Forces have chosen Red Hat Linux and open source over Windows. In fact, they are replacing their existing Microsoft installations with Linux.

This is a good sign. With any luck, other NATO or EU nations will make similar choices, which will take them in the direction of being able to more easily collaborate with each other on multi-national issues, like security and anti-terrorism.
