The South Korean postal service is reportedly in the process of migrating some 4,700 desktop computers from Microsoft Windows to Linux. The migration is expected to save the government-run organization 850 million won (about $829,000) per year, according to an article at Silicon.com.

The computers, located in 2,800 post office branches, are used to allow the public to access the internet free of charge. Korea Post also plans to be using Linux for its internet banking and payment system by the end of the year, according to the report.
