NANJING, China – Six PC makers, including Haier and Founder, announced 
yesterday that they have won contracts to provide a total of 141,624 PCs 
to the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education for an educational 
program called, "School-to-School Project." At the same time, Sun Wah 
Linux's Debian-based Chinese Operating System RAYS LX was also chosen as 
the operating system used in all 141,624 PCs.

"This project marks the cooperative effort of Sun Wah Linux and the 
Jiangsu government's use of Linux to fight against Microsoft's monopoly 
in China," said Alex Banh, CEO, Sun Wah Linux. "This is the largest 
Linux desktop roll-out in Asia, thus proving that national Linux OS is 
moving toward more practical usage by saving millions of dollars and 
bringing profound influence to China Linux development and application 
promotion."
