Hello everyone,

Another government example in Canada that you may wish to examine is Legal Aid 
Manitoba.  I wrote an article on their move to Linux a little while back.  
What makes this one interesting is that Scott Balneaves, the sysadmin up 
there, actually gave me numbers in terms of how much their move saved 
taxpayers.  For the story, click on yon link below.

Like CSD Toronto, this certainly qualifies as a model for government moving to 
Linux.

Take care out there.
