There’s nothing like lots of new people tasting freedom for the first time to get your day started. DAM brings us the story of a migration of part of a French group to GNOME-based thin-clients. 550 clients being served by 10 servers.

And thanks to the wonderful work that has been done recently to make free software applications cross-platform, even the people who have to use Windows on their laptops get to join in the fun, using Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice.org.

    Firefox and Thunderbird should be considered Windows software that also happens to work on Free platforms. At least that’s what the Mozilla Corp. seem to think.
