Korea Replacing 120,000 Windows with Linux

Posted by HeUnique on from the windows->-Linux dept.

The Korean government has just signed a contract with Hancom to purchase 120,000 copies of HancomLinux Deluxe 2.0 (which is basically Red Hat OS + tweaks + korean language support + KDE localized) and HancomOffice 2.0. Thats quite a big achievement. Here is Hancom's Press Release about it.

    North or South? There is no "Korea". Unless your map is over 50 years old.

    This is all entirely intriguing, but isn't Korea in monsoon country? I've heard rumors of Linux making an excellent protective wall against fire, but I don't believe it's yet robust enough to provide the same protection while retaining a high level of transparency.
