Linux.com looks at
Asianux 2.0. "Despite its ostentatious goal of becoming "the"
Asian Linux, Asianux enters an Asian Linux market that is already extremely
competitive, with Novell SUSE, Turbolinux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and
The Sun Wah Linux Distribution, which are all jostling for a piece of
Asia's Linux market. The three Asianux companies have plans to expand the
distro's reach and introduce Malaysian and Indian companies to its fold. If
they can successfully execute this strategy, Asianux will expand to a
larger portion of Asia. If the companies build on Asianux as a common
platform, and localize it, it will provide a definite edge to the
distribution over other Asian distributions. In the current climate in
Asia, where piracy is rampant, Asianux won't take market share away from
Windows, since to Windows users, Asianux looks no different than their
current operating system, and both come at the same price."
