Comment
Britain must not be left behind: We should select the best Linux “distro” for each part of government:
OLPCs should be issued to MPs & their special advisers, although some may want Red Hat;
Ark Linux for the Royal Navy, Dragonfly for the RAF and Foresight for the MoD;
Knoppix to bring Teutonic efficiency to the Home Office, with SmoothWall for its Prison Service;
Argentinian "Musix" or Persian "Parsix" for the Foreign Office;
Pure:Dyne from goto10.org for Gordon Brown.
