Debian to be Marketed to Japan and China

darthcamaro writes "Thanks to Sun Wah Linux and VA Linux Systems Japan, Debian is about to get some major exposure in Asia according to a report. Debian developer Matthew Garrett told internetnews.com that Debian has always been one of the most international Linux distributions. "It's wonderful to see initiatives that will increase our representation in countries with a growing interest in Linux," he added. "It's especially heartening to see this move coming from commercial enterprises, as it demonstrates that free software can work with business."" There's also a post on Newsforge as well.

That's funny since the main reason I left Debian for Fedora was because of Debian's antique Chinese input support.

At least with Fedora you can get the latest modern stuff...with Debian you get Eurocentric crap from the 90s that is a bitch to use.
