"Armbruster did not say what version of Linux it plans on installing
in the future, but he is a fan of Ubuntu, a free Linux distribution
based on Debian. Ubuntu is the distribution that will be offered to
city employees to try out at home, according to Armbruster.

"I think Ubuntu is very interesting, more interesting than SuSE or Red
Hat's desktop products," he says. "I have friends who wanted to try
Linux at home and when they installed SuSE or Red Hat they had 500 or
800 programs. You don't need 800 programs; with Ubuntu you get fewer
applications,"
