Software and Nationality
,----[ Quote ]
| Jeremy Allison of the Samba project made some interesting remarks in an
| interview last week about the nationalist flavors of Linux distributions. To
| sum up: SUSE is popular with Germans and other Europeans; Red Hat and Fedora
| are for Americans; the Chinese have Red Flag Linux; and Ubuntu “seems to be
| more third world.”
|
| In general, these descriptions make little sense. I know plenty of Americans
| who use SUSE, and plenty of Germans who don’t. When I was living in France a
| couple years ago, I failed to locate a single Mandriva desktop (in fact, the
| only free-software-powered computers I saw at all were a few FreeBSD email
| kiosks scattered around the Sorbonne), even though Mandriva is headquartered
| in the French capital. Even the French National Assembly chose Kubuntu over
| Mandriva when it made the switch to Linux last year.

ASI using Drupal
,----[ Quote ]
| Drupal goes to space! ASI is in Italy what NASA is in the USA. In other
| words, ASI is the Italian national agency for space activities, and works
| primarily with ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA (National Aeronautics and
| Space Administration). Among their many projects include recent work on
| construction of the International Space Station. Turns out their site uses
| Drupal.
