   Good for China and for Linux. Although this has no direct effect on us in the States, it may effect us through products that we get from China.

   901[/url] and China's "goals"[url]http://au.news.yahoo.com/060111/3/xjiv.html[/url] Wow, i'd say linux has been one major hit, ok duh. But if a government has intelligent workers who will maintain an open-source operating system, and doesn't need windows "tech support" then linux really is not a bad option.

   I've seen quite a few upgrades to Linux, so maybe Linux is a potential competitor in the industry. Anyhow, I think this is a great move for China. This is very beneficial to their country, because it could be used as a base to improve technology all over the world.

   I just installed Fedora Core 4 (Also have Mandriva 2006) and it's quite good. The only problem I see is that it's not really easy for the average user to start using it. It should at least come with yumex and other enhancements to make installation / uninstallation / upgrade easier.

   I want it in Canada. Don't care what OS they run in Japan lol. At least give us Macs. I'm sick of crappy Dells and Windows. Stupid schools get deals from Dell so they buy them
