Linux for Asia: Asianux

Posted by michael on from the penguins-not-native-to-asia dept.

kiwimate writes "Two Linux distributors (one each from China and Japan) are building a common Linux platform for Asian companies. Using Oracle software to create the product, which is dubbed "Asianux", they have declared they'll create a common kernel so that the two companies' offerings can interoperate with ease."

    After this is successful, this Oriental version of Linux will be combined with the one being developed for the Czech Republic.

    We wish the new "Rice-Chex" project much success.

    Cool! Now that countries like India and China are starting to move toward Linux, they can stop writing Windows viruses and begin writing them for Linux.
