-<p><strong>German ministry of foreign affairs moves towards open source.
-</strong>The German <a href=
-"http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/Startseite.html">ministry of
-foreign affairs</a> saves at least 50 percent of their IT cost by
-migrating their servers and workstations from Microsoft Windows to
-Debian, according to its head of IT, Rolf Schuster in an <a href=
-"http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/85977/">interview</a> with an
-german IT magazine. The ministry started the move to open source in
-2002, driven by an urge to save money on license fees and to escape from
-update cycles. The move was initiated by the creation of a highly secure
-diplomatic <a href=

-based on open source software and <a href=
-"http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/39494">linking</a> all 230
-foreign representations world wide.</p>
+<p><strong>Saving Money with Debian GNU/Linux.</strong> The leader of
+Germany's <a href="http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/">Federal Foreign
+Office</a>, Rolf Schuster, <a
+href="http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/85977/">reported</a> that they
+have seriously cut their IT costs by consequently using Free Software.  Driven
+by the urge to save money on license fees and to escape from update cycles the
+office started the move in 2002 and has since then connected 230 embassys with
+the secure intranet <a href="http://www.bsi.de/fachthem/sina/">gateways</a>.
+More than 300 laptops of diplomats also run a specialised distribution based
+on Debian GNU/Linux.</p>
