Automaker Peugeot Converts 20,000 Desktops To Linux
The French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroen is slated to become one of the few large scale conversions to desktop Linux.
The migration is still in the planning stages but will get underway soon, said Guy Lunardi, Novell senior product manager, during a session on desktop Linux at LinuxWorld in San Francisco this week.
Peugeot will convert 20,000 of its 72,000 users to Linux, using Novell's SUSE Linux Enteprise Desktop product. The package includes the Novell edition of OpenOffice.org 2, a desktop productivity suite that includes a spreadsheet, word processor, presentation graphics, drawing program and database. The software claims compatibility with Microsoft Office files. OpenOffice.org is an open source project; its latest release is OpenOffice 2.2.1.
In addition, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop includes a search engine for searching the user's desktop files and documents.
