Despite the attention grabbing strap-line of 'Tories put toes on Linux
bandwagon' that el' Reg seem to have used; I'm not sure that the 'Tories are
necessarily advocating Linux over Windows operating systems to be fair.

I'd be willing to bet that they were talking about stuff like......

- Open Office instead of Microsoft Office
- MySQL/PostgreSQL instead of MSSQL
- Sendmail/Postfix etc instead of Exchange
- SugarCRM instead of proprietary CRM

etc, etc, etc.

Still, it's all good, and hopefully it'll help spurn on a greater usage of
Linux in the public sector. I imagine at the moment though it'll be on the
server rather than the desktop....
