Bergen City Council in Norway has denied that it has abandoned its flagship
Linux migration project, branding such reports "exaggerated" and insisting
it has already completed its project to move many of its servers to Linux.
However, the council admitted it has postponed plans to migrate 12,000
desktops to Linux, due to other investment priorities.

Reports in Computerworld
Norway<http://www.computerworld.no/index.cfm/fuseaction/artikkel/id/4000C3C2-F1FF-9846-69053EB008C9AA11>,
subsequently picked up by at least one
blogger<http://www.geekzone.co.nz/juha/1191>,
said Bergen had halted the migration from HP/UX servers and Microsoft
Windows desktops to Novell's Suse Linux platform, citing training issues and
fears that an exaggerated faith in Linux was damaging some functions.

However, Lars Tveit, director for competition and development at Bergen City
Council, said his comments had been taken out of context and that despite
some challenges during the migration, leading to increased use of expensive
consultants, the overall project to migrate servers in its education and
other departments had been a success.
Plans to move 12,000 desktops to OpenOffice and Linux, however, have been
put on ice, according to Tviet.
