Chinese Gov't Pushing Linux In Rural China With Subsidies
,----[ Quote ]
| "The Chinese government's 'Go Rural' program
| offers subsidies up to 13 percent for rural
| residents who purchase approved nettops or
| netbooks. The systems come with a version of
| Red Flag Linux built on the Moblin stack. Along
| with Internet access, the software is said to
| provide apps for crop and livestock management,
| farm production marketing, remote office
| access/automation, and even online tour and
| hotel booking systems. Of course, Windows
| dominates the China market, and if traditional
| patterns hold, about 30 percent of these
| subsidized systems could ultimately wind up re-
| installed with Windows."
