Full steam ahead for Linux railway project

German national railway Deutsche Bahn Aktiengesellschaft has moved all of its 55,000 Lotus Notes users onto the open source operating system.

This follows a project to shift the train time-tabling system from HP Non-Stop to Linux. The next stop is to shift the railway's SAP systems, including sales support, from UNIX to Linux.

According to PC World the railway wants to have all databases, application servers, Web servers, mail servers, and network infrastructure running on Linux by the end of the year.

So it says, here. µ
