Desktop Linux looks at Linux adoption in Norway. "In the midst of a migration to Linux, the city of Bergen, Norway has reportedly expanded its estimates of the cost savings and other benefits it expects to achieve in switching from Microsoft Windows technologies. In a report at ZDNet published last week, Bergen CTO Ole-Bjorn Tuftedal says he expects to save 30 percent on hardware costs alone thanks to the efficiency of Linux -- this, in addition to cost savings associated with licensing fees and other economic benefits he had expected prior to testing open source for city-wide deployment."
