RE: China standardizes on Linux!!!? (April fool's)

Hehe, sorry for posting it so late; I didn't know of the 12 midday rule.
I should've made it more obvious (although the name of the kernel module
was supposed to be the hint) since we're living in a country where such
things could really happen!

Maybe we'll see the same story in the news soon for real??  :)  (Without
the kernel module requirement, hopefully.)

Have a good April 2nd.

Bye,
