| South Africa may migrate 14,000 Windows desktops to Linux |
Feb. 24, 2006
The South African Revenue Service has issued an RFP (request for proposal) for Linux desktops to help the agency do its tax collecting, according to a report in the country's Mail & Guardian Online. A successful proof of concept could result in 14,000 Windows XP SP2 desktops migrating to Linux, the article said.
The agency is already using open source on its back end, having migrated its SAP system to a Linux platform in 2004, the report says. Since then, it says it has seen a "significant improvement on performance and stability."
