It is suprising that windows handles it that well, this is probably because of the way that it uses memory. it is designed to be a monolythic with some of the applications being memory resident, this alows atleast part of the os to still run correctly. linux is modular with applicaitons being stored on the file system. when linux tries to load applications it fails, and loads random data of the deleted file system.
in australia in our receent elections we had a live tally room http://vtr.aec.gov.au/. i spent a little bit of time watching the results as they where counted.
things are starting to look good for linux, we now have a veriety of different companys that are starting to support linux.
hopefully this will mean drivers will be better supported (atleast for the hardware provided).
It doesn't work in australia.
For a land with so much supposed freedom why is informaiton such as this being blocked from your allies?
what do you have to gain from doing this?
I think this is a good idea of selling linux.
customising the os by adding custom packages and certifiying that it will work on the hardware.
as long as the costs are competetive it should be a good buy.
what is the reason for open sourceing java?
The source code is avalable (through a restrictive licence, but it is there).
Byte code is an open standard, so it is possible to create your own vm.The only real thing that is required are all the extra classes.
