North Rhine-Westphalia has signed a new contract with Novell systems for them to provide Linux to thousands of their computers up on German campuses in Germany. Hundreds of thousands of German Students already use the OS for their school work and for fun and play so the move was a natural one. This deal makes it one of the largest in Europe that’s ever happened and perhaps it is one more step against conglomerate Microsoft and their ever present Windows. This move has also influenced other countries and cities such as the Netherlands and Amsterdam to purchase a trial period for their own computer systems. If they enjoy it enough, they could end their contract after it expires with Microsoft.
