The government will switch the operating system of its computers from Windows
to Linux, the Ministry of the Inetrior and Safety said Thursday.

The Interior Ministry said the ministry will be test-running Linux on its PCs,
and if no security issues arise, Linux systems will be introduced more widely
within the government.

The decision comes amid concern about the cost of continuing to maintain
Windows, as Microsoft's free techinical support for Windows 7 expires in
January 2020.

The transition to Linux OS and the purchase of new PCs are expected to cost
the government about 780 billion won ($655 million), the ministry said.

Before the government-wide adoption, the ministry said it would test if the
system could be run on private networked devices without security rists and
if compatbility could be achieved with existing websites and software which
have been built to run Windows.

The ministry's digital service bureau chief Choi Jang-Hyuk said the ministry
expects cost reductions through the introduction of the open-source OS and
also hopes to avoid building reliance on a single operation system.
