The migration from Windows (and proprietary models in general) to Open source Operating systems and applications is, nowadays, a big issue in many healthcare environments.

While at that subject, one must give IBM credit to their way of turning innocuous matters in big issues.

This time it was a new "RedBooks" guide: the "Linux Client Migration Cookbook - A Practical Planning and Implementation Guide for Migrating to Desktop Linux"

As usual, it is an easy reading. Being an IBM RedBook it gives a certain (deserved?) credibility to the Open Source field.

Which, according to IBM is targeted for:
"+ For anyone who is exploring or planning for a Linux desktop migration
+ Provides in-depth detail on the technical and organizational challenges
+ Includes methods for planning and implementation"

I wonder... all that good will towards Open Source... when will IBM open source the DB2 dbms? :-)
