A subsidiary of Shanghai's stock exchange will use Turbolinux's server software to provide information to the securities industry, the company said Monday.
Shanghai Stock Communication Co. will use LinBox v1.0 to distribute stock and securities information, employing a version of the 2.6 Linux kernel customized by Turbolinux, the Japanese company said.
China remains a top market for Linux software. Government agencies have promoted the use of open source software, viewing proprietary software produced by foreign developers as expensive and a potential security hazard.
