Linux makes breakthrough in China! (a reputable journal reports)

hoojchoons:
The international Open Source community seems to be working together much closer than in the past. As a result of this we'll be seeing more and more localised versions of Linux in the years to come. Take my case for example. A few years earlier when I got my first Linux distro (SuSE Linux 6.3), I quickly found out that I couldn't work in my native language (Greek), because of the lack of true type fonts support. However, thanks to our ever growing Greek Linux community, we now have not only a greek translation of KDE or GNOME, but also some very beautiful true type and Type1 fonts released by project graphis.

tr_one:
does anybody else remember that the source code was not going to be released? I was wondering if that is still true or not.

Doctor V:
Here in Japan, I saw a nice commercial yesterday.  It showed a basketball game, with one team having words like downtime, crashes, security holes, and such written on their jerseys, and the other team had Linux written on theirs.  The mascot was a Penguin too.  The Linux team dominated on the court.  I wonder if this commercial is in other countrys too.

voidmain:
Yes, it's an IBM commercial and it runs a lot in the US.

Calum:
i haven't seen it here unfortunately but then i don't watch a lot of TV. what is it with IBM and HP nowadays pioneering linux with their big bucks? i thought they had their own operating systems that they wanted to push?

sounds like a good advert though, but funny to think of linux adverts!
