Notice to Linux users

,----[ Quote ]
| The census online application now accessible to Linux operating
| system
| 
| In response to demand, Statistics Canada has removed the restriction
| for Linux. This change takes effect May 13th, 2006.
| 
| This broadened access to open-source users is available to those who have
| a valid browser and JVM. These minimum requirements are necessary in order
| to maintain the same level of data encryption with Public Key
| Infrastructure (PKI).

| In 2006, Canadians can fill out their census forms online for the first
| time -- but not if they use GNU/Linux, or are free software advocates
| who prefer not to install a proprietary version of Java.
