[dundee] Dundee City Council goes Linux!

[Mark Harrigan]

Hrm, one IBM Z-Series 800 says no the tax will not fall. The only price I
can find for one is $400,000 in basic trim which translates into more
than 230,000 of our quids and then there's a nice juicey IBM support
contract to add to the mix :) 

I reckon getting that all up and playing nice probably destroyed a lot
of a half million...

by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
