A press release from Mandrakesoft announces the migration of 1500 Windows NT machines of the French Ministry of Equipment, to Mandrake Linux.

The Ministry of Equipment's central administration for IT (DCSI) is managing the migration's technological drive, in order to guarantee the information system's coherency and the use of state of the art technologies. Under its control, the Linux server migration project began in November 2003. It will continue through the end of 2005, to ensure a progressive deployment at the national scale.

The migration was established in terms of technical and organizational requirements. In order to meet the project's needs, two specific Linux distributions based on Mandrakelinux Corporate Server were developed.

To benefit from technology monitoring, technical assistance and personalized training, the Ministry has also subscribed to the Mandrakesoft Corporate Club.
