Open source: Trial aims to explode \'risk myths\' - silicon.com: "Birmingham City Council has started a giant trial of open source software on desktops and servers, intended to determine whether open source really delivers benefits.
The council - the largest in Europe - will move 1,500 desktops and all the associated back-end servers in its library service to Linux and other open source software including OpenOffice and Firefox. The year-long trial will be backed by government money, and include a final, neutral assessment of the value of the move. Public terminals in libraries will be shifted to Linux, as well as office systems in the library service."
