“Hancom Linux… today announced that it’s flagship product,
Hancom Office, will be pre-installed by Toshiba Digital Media
Engineering on the DynaBook SS S4/275, a popular new laptop
computer aimed primarily at Japanese college students. Hancom
Office is also available as an option for Toshiba’s Libretto L3 and
DynaBook SS M3 laptop computers. Today’s announcement is another
boost for Linux desktop adoption in Asia and elsewhere.

“The size of a B5 sheet of paper (just 28.9cm by 22.9cm and
1.5cm thick), the DynaBook SS S4/275 is one of the smallest laptops
on the market. The product was announced earlier this year but did
not previously come with Caldera’s OpenLinux operating system or
Hancom Office pre-installed. Because of its innovative design,
small size, and as one of a very small number of laptops that come
with Linux pre-installed, the DynaBook SS S4/275 is sure to be
popular with Japanese university students.

“Hancom Linux will provide Toshiba with the latest Japanese
version of its productivity suite, Hancom Office 2.0J, a
full-featured, powerful productivity suite for Linux that is
compatible with Microsoft Office. Hancom Office is already the
leading office productivity suite in Asia, and is rapidly gaining
acceptance in other parts of the world. Earlier this week, for
example, Hancom Linux announced the availability of Hancom Deluxe
2.0AR, the first fully localized Arabic language Linux operating
system, which includes the Arabic edition of Hancom Office…”
