Linux in Canada

Flxstr writes "Lots of Linux articles in Canada's national newspaper today, starting with Calgary switching from SUN Unix to Red Hat Linux. Another article discusses whether Linux will become a target for viruses as its popularity grows. This article mentions how Linux costs less, so more firms are becoming interested. Finally, an article discusses how pushes by major vendors such as IBM, HP, and others is speeding acceptance of Linux over other alternatives. Altogether, some good articles for any CIO's desk."

and it was more Parisienne French instead of Quebecois French, which was what was promised.

Given that Quebecois is an almost entirely unrecognizeable form of French to anyone not from Quebec nobody would make a second version of the product to try to accomodate that.

I once knew people from France who, when travelling to Quebec, needed to talk to everyone in English because the Quebecois was undecipherable.

I mean, I bet if you install Windows in Jamaica you don't get a Jamaican-patois out of the OS.

"Click 'ere to Reboot Now Mon" woul be just silly.
