The last paragraph is a good summary:<p>Last week, 21 June 2013, the head of technology and information systems of internal security, General Bernard Pappalardo, wrote to the interdepartmental steering information and communication systems, by sending a copy of his letter to all departments. &quot;For many years, the police tried to avoid this type of dependency and promote free software for its information systems (workstations and servers)&quot;, said the general. &quot;That&#x27;s why it will not deploy the solution chosen by UGAP to protect its desktop solution and launched a preliminary consultation on the acquisition of an antivirus solution which must include a management console on Linux.&quot;<p>UGAP being (to my knowledge) in charge of making the government save money in this kind of situation.
