Wi-Fi, Linux, And VoIP In Canada

WEFUNK writes "Canadian Business magazine has a cover story promoting Wi-Fi, VoIP, and Linux as 'Stuff that Works: 3 hot technologies that live up to their hype.' The article goes on to describe a number of Canadian success stories, ranging from Spotnik Mobile's growing network of Wi-Fi hotspots to the Canadian National Railway's use of Linux since 1993, and quantifies the benefits of VoIP to a Canadian insurance company's call centre. The article also includes some shipment numbers for Linux servers in Canada, mentions the growing number of Linux apps, and nicely downplays the SCO debacle."

Re:But VOIP doesn't work on Linux

[zaimor]

Why would VoIP be illegal to run on Linux just because it's made by microsoft? Unless I'm missing part of an EULA somewhere...

THIS IS NOT THE TRUTH

[Anonymous Coward]

Canadians have known about Linux since its inception. When RMS laid the first lines of code down for the kernel, it was the Canadians at the U.of Montreal that were the first to pick up on the GNU code (it's a pun!)

GNU and RMS are singlehandedly waging the war against Microsoft and proprietary software in America, but Canada is doing it's part too in North America.

So in summary, your post was on-topic, but it was incorrect.
