| German universities embrace Linux |
|---|
A German state has signed a major contract with Novell for the supply of Linux server and desktop products to 33 universities.
North Rhine-Westphalia has selected Novell for the supply of its IT infrastructure. Novell already supports 300,000 students in the states of Bavaria and Thuringia; the new deal will add another 560,000 students and thousands of employees. It's not clear how many of the students actually will use the desktop Linux software.
