China Awards Six-Figure Desktop Linux Rollout
[Tom Dunlap, Yahoo News, 5 Oct 2005]

"A Chinese software vendor has won a contract to deliver one of the
nation's biggest Linux deployments to date, including more than 140,000
desktop PCs."
[...]
"Sun Wah Linux will install RAYS LX, its Debian-based Linux workstation
distro, as the default operating system on the desktop PCs. . According
to Minou Nguyen, a U.S.-based Sun Wah Linux spokesperson, although the
project at one time specified Microsoft Windows as the desktop OS, Sun
Wah "managed to turn these desktops into dual-boot machines with RAYS LX
as the preferred loading OS.""
For informtion about RAYS LX, see:

"Applications
* OpenOffice.org
* Mozilla web browser
* Mozilla email client
* GGV Postscript viewer
* gThumb photo album
* GIMP image manipulation program
* BeepMedia audio player
* Totem video player"
I'm not sure if Pui-Lam is still subscribed to this list, so have cc'd
to see if he has any other information about the roll-out.
All the best

I wonder what happened with that news about Sun hiring half of china to
produce a massive ammount of JDS to the market about a year ago.
