Asia's first and only standardized Linux platform has been jointly developed by Chinese and Japanese partners.

The Asianux operating system was developed by China's Red Flag Software and Japan's Miracle Linux Corporation.

The research work was conducted in Oracle's China Development Center in Beijing.

Oracle has expressed its recognition of the operation system and announced the elevation of Asianux into its world class Linux support program.

Meanwhile, key infrastructure partners, including AMD, Dell, HP, Langchao, NEC and Sun have come forward to certify their products and support the adoption of Asianux as a Linux standard for Asia.

Reports say a South Korean company is holding talks with the Asianux research team, hoping to take part in the research work.
