,----[ Quote ]
| In 1999, the Chinese Academy of  Sciences developed Red Flag Linux, an 
| operating system based on open-source Linux technology, for the Chinese 
| market. The decidedly patriotic tinge of the name, as well as the decision 
| two years later by China Center for Information Industry Development’s 
| venture capital subsidiary CCIDNET Investment to become Red Flag’s second 
| largest shareholder, confirmed the Chinese government’s interest in 
| developing a domestic operating system.
