“Compaq Computer will attempt to push its Tru64 version of Unix
and its Alpha server hardware in the mainland with its coming
release of a ‘Chinese Unix.’

“But the leading enterprise hardware vendor has no plans yet to
offer Linux with its workstations and servers sold in the
mainland.

“It said Cosix, a localised Unix version for the mainland, would
be co-developed by Compaq – the second-biggest Unix hardware vendor
worldwide, according to International Data Corp – and the China
National Computer Software and Technology Service Corp (CS&S),
a state-owned software developer and systems integrator under the
administration of the Ministry of Information Industry.”
