The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) makes 10-day weather forecasts
for most European weather offices. They started switching most of
the desktop sytems to Linux a year ago, and have chronicled the
conversion in one of their newsletters.
The article is within the Fall 2001 edition of the Centre’s
newsletter and provides quite a bit of technical detail on the
Centre’s switch to Linux workstations.
[Editor’s Note: This is a PDF article. The Linux story runs
on pages 12-15 of the document.]
