The Linux Desktop in Government

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 provides market-leading usability, seamless interoperability, and essential productivity applications. It is deployable as a general-purpose desktop or easily tailored for use in thin- or thick-client configurations. With SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, governments dramatically reduce costs, improve end user security, and increase operational flexibility.

There is a natural fit between open source and open government. As documents are increasingly transformed from paper to electronic form, there is a growing concern that governments and their constituents may not be able to access, retrieve and use critical records, information and documents in the future. To ensure that governments have greater control and free access to their own electronic records, many governments are embracing the OpenDocument Format (ODF). SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 supports the open standards of ODF and empowers governments to avoid locked-in proprietary software formats.
