Turbolinux to manage Chinese package delivery

Turbolinux has announced an agreement with the China Ministry of Railways to build a Linux-based system to handle package delivery operations. "The package delivery system in China utilizes the postal service and rail transportation. To modernize the package delivery process, the Ministry of Railways selected Turbolinux to develop a consolidated digital infrastructure. The widely deployed Linux-based system will link package delivery facilities and the Ministry of Railway Systems computer network, and will process 95% of the total freight volume -- nearly 200 million parcels annually."
