    Probably more likely to go for SUSE, since it's European but still Enterprisey.

    With the resources they have -- and the goal of having security and control over their digital supply lines -- I don't see why they wouldn't roll their own distro. Maybe heavily based on an existing distro (looking at you, Debian) but something that's completely under their control, so they can choose for themselves exactly what packages are included, what security settings are used as defaults, when and if to update things, etc. ------- Edit: after (gasp) actually reading the article, it seems that each department within the French government will be responsible for their own implementation, which means they might all end up using different distros in different departments.

    Nobody gets fired for buying IBM ... apparently.
