A Greens and Linux ticket (SMH)

The Sydney Morning Herald has an article on the use of Linux by the Australian Green Party. "Beyond the notions that Greens candidates and open source evangelists are viewed to be on the economic 'left', or seeking a more just and sustainable environment - depending on your point of view - the party has stopped using commercial software as much for pragmatic reasons. It wants to win more seats at the impending federal election, and Linux will help it do that, the Greens believe."
