3500 Linuxes... or maybe Linii? Yes, Linii!

A nation-wide election took place in Greece this past Sunday (2007 November 11). Its purpose was to elect PASOK's new leader. For the politically inclined, details can be found here.

What's interesting from a technology perspective is that Linux (Xubuntu 7.10) was chosen as the OS for the computers used for the election.

Computron is proud for having prepared, distributed and having installed Linux on 3500 computers, of which 100 laptops, to facilitate the election process throughout Greece. More details here.

Obligatory...

- I've acquired a TV-Tuner card...
- "Yeah, but does it run Linux?"
- Well, it doesn't run linux, but testing so far indicates it works fine under Linux.
- "But what does that meeeeaaan?"
- In itself, admittedly not much... However, we've also unearthed one of the promised videotapes (the ones containing movies we created during highschool).

The videotape was inspired by The Blair Witch Project.
My plan is to digitize the videotape, add English subtitles and make it available on YouTube/Google video.
You 'll know more details about the movie when it's publicly available...
