Munich has started to migrate to Linux on the desktop -- a year later than planned.
Software patent campaigner Florian Mueller revealed this week that the City of Munich's decision to stall its Linux migration, was the result of a PR stunt by anti-patent campaigners.
In the face of a possible IT migration disaster, it's always better to err on the side of caution.
The City of Munich has chosen to migrate its 14,000 desktops to a free Linux distribution, rather than a commercial version of the open source operating system.
Peter Hofmann, the project leader of the Linux migration in the City of Munich, code-named LiMux, told ZDNet UK on Tuesday what it feels like to become a star in the Linux world.
