    Contact Mathias Waack. He can probably give you plenty of resources.

    He manages the only successful Linux based infrastructure in governmental institutions in Germany.

            Waack in German actually means prince or “crown holder”. He’s indeed the monarch of the city council, thus overseeing the infrastructure and so on.

            Mathias means Messiah. It’s the “crown holding saviour”. And a lot of people actually see him like that even though it’s an ancient title and - nowadays - basically meaningless.

      That’s interesting. Genuinely interested in how you can have desktop Linux pcs managed as effectively. I would love it if institutions in the U.S use Linux for their desktops.

      Any thoughts about doing the same for Canada, Trudeau?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
