Deputies elected to the French National Assembly in the next
legislative session will find open-source software on their desktop
PCs.

The use of free software will result in substantial cost savings,
despite the cost of migration and training, the Assembly said.

Free and open-source software now offers all the functions the
deputies need, according to a study conducted at the request of the
president of the assembly, Jean-Louis Debré.

The software on the deputies' computers will include the Linux
operating system, the OpenOffice productivity suite, the Firefox web
browser and an open-source email application.
