Korea to build a Linux City
Utopia of our time
By Nick Farrell: Friday 17 February 2006, 08:46
THE KOREAN government is planning to create a Linux utopia, a place
where open sauce flows freely and only Linux is used.
The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) has revealed the
scheme of building up the city and university to use as testing groups
for open-source programs.
Candidate cities and universities are to be selected by a government
panel next week and the government will have made up its mind by late
March.
If selected, the city government and university will be have to install
open-source software as a main operating infrastructure. They will have
to purge all their computers of VoleWare and send Microsoft packing to
beyond the city limits.
It is a sign of the Times, here.
