It's amazing what can bubble up from forums; consider this: Operating systems for really, really old computers from the Ubuntu forums.
What a great list! The poster (darrelljon) lists a few dozen little operating systems, mostly but not all Linux, that are small and light enough to run on older computers. Sorted by size, and in subcategories depending on what media they'll fit on. With links! Awesome!
Here's a good one: Automaker Peugeot Converts 20,000 Desktops To Linux. It's not actually news, since Peugeot prominently announced the move over the past year, but it's nice to see it actually is happening. Peugeot has 72,000 users, so it's not a total switch, but it's still pretty darn big.
Think you couldn't switch to Linux because you work in a Microsoft world? Think again: it happens all the time.
Mike Kavis has been blogging about his open source dabbling, starting with Eating my own dogfood and following up with a report 7 weeks later, Open Source and Microsoft Free. Mike worried at first about his coworkers discovering his Linux experiment, but was surprised to find that "most of the folks that I was hiding from are sick and tired of supporting Windows and are proponents of Linux."
Wow!
Mike also points to OxygenOffice Professional as a good resource for templates and clipart to supplement OpenOffice.
