A story about migration to free software in Brazil

Filed under: Free Software, Latin America — admin @ 6:44 pm

This interesting blog post tells the story of what is becoming a commonplace job for technology consultants doing business in Latin America: “Integrated Neurology Service SINEURO’s office, located in São Paulo, Brazil, migrated from various versions of Windows (from 98 to XP) on a network of five computers with eight nonskilled computer users. I was the consultant in charge, and I spent no money on new hardware. Thank to the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP), hardware that’s too old for new versions of Windows runs Linux applications just fine over a network from a server.”
