Large deployment of Ubuntu-server in France

[Benoit HETRU]

I think what Yann is speaking about is the following :
http://www.dedibox.fr/
You may find more informations about the OSs available on
http://www.dedibox.fr/index.php?rub=os

Anyway, I think it's wrong to tell that this offer comes from the ISP
(for those wondering, it's http://www.free.fr/) ; the fact is that the
society making this offer (http://www.iliad.fr/) owns this ISP, but
except that, there's no real link between the two.
