i am from czech republic and i must say: everybody (except a few freaks) is using proprietary closed sw, and planing to implement proprietary ms-based solutions as a substitution to already used open solutins. and the goverment says to public: “hey, we like microsoft and we are pleased to pay them astronomous charges! and you freaks go to hell!”

Thanks Satan! (There’s a sentence I didn’t imagine myself stating today - at least not publicly.)

hi

i would be nice to make mention about worldwide Bata shoe stores (http://www.bata.cz/, http://www.bata.com) which at least in Czech republic (cca 70 shops) has all infrastructure on Linux (POS terminals, server at the store and DB servers in headquoters).

In oposition to Satan, I see all around OSS solutions. A lot web developers are using PHP, MySQL of course, but OpenOfice, Firefox and Thunderbird is in wide usage too.

In our company we have 130 Linux desktops and 5 key Linux servers. Now we are testing Linux for notebooks and I hope at the end of August we switch about 30 notebooks to Linux. A lot of users, we switch from crapy Outlook Express to Thunderbird …

We use OSS software not becouse “It just works …” ;-), but because “It works well.”

Please note that the government very recently decided to buy more than tho hundred thousand licenses of proprietary Microsoft software in order to “save” some US$40 Mio. in license fees. I am not aware of any selection procedure that (as the law requires) should have been performed before such a decision.

Well, there is a big development center of SUSE/Novell in Prague with 80 people working here.

I think, that status of linux in cz is very good. Some of czech schools is running on linux (servers and dualboot on PC). Community is also very large. http://www.abclinuxu.cz, http://www.root.cz, http://www.linuxsoft.cz High school make a lot of action for propagation of linux and open-source. http://www.avc-cvut.cz/avc.php?id=1302 Except CzechPost are running on Linux (Unix) a lot of other czech companies.
