Red Hat has announced several large European Linux installations, including a deal to implement more than 8,000 desktops for a major German insurance company.
The deal with LVM Versicherungen, announced on Monday, is one of the biggest successes so far for desktop Linux. The City of Munich's decision in May 2003 to switch 14,000 machines from Windows to Linux is still the most significant migration, but it remains at the planning stage.
