Article title: Oracle replaced the PC desktop system to complete Linux office within two years. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
Recently, the reporter was informed that Oracle will change its desktop operating system globally, of which nearly 80% of its employees at the U.S. headquarters have been transferred to the Linux desktop office, oracle Chinese companies will also fully adopt the Linux system of Zhongke Hongqi.
  
This message was recently confirmed by the person in charge of Oracle. Media director of Oracle said that Oracle has established a plan to migrate the desktop OS to Linux within two years, but the specific timetable has not yet been determined in China. As a strategic partner of Oracle, the selection of red-flag Linux in China remains to be finalized.
  
At the same time, the reporter also learned from the Zhongke Hongqi company that Oracle does have considerations for using Hongqi Linux in China, but there are still many preliminary work to be completed in this work, such: oracle needs to complete the authentication and testing for Red-Flag Linux. The news from Yongzhong Technology Co., Ltd. also shows that the company is talking with the Oracle headquarters about changing Office software. Yongzhong office is compatible with Windows and Linux platforms.
  
Compared with Oracle's Linux program, another Linux program loyal to IBM is much more mysterious. Although it was reported that IBM was doing similar work to replace the desktop system, both the head of the IBM public relations department and the head of the IBM Linux Solution Center said they were not informed of the message.
  
In any case, the news from some high-tech companies is a great encouragement to the Linux camp. Especially when the good news of server-side Linux and embedded operating systems continue, desktop-side Linux has begun to show its vitality.
  
The person in charge of Zhongke Hongqi also admitted that the company was surprised by the progress of Linux on the desktop. According to the report, the number of OEMs on the desktop of the Zhongke Hongqi platform reached 1.15 million last year. Although affected by SARS in the first half of this year, the shipment volume still exceeded the same period last year.
  
However, the owner also said that the company's current revenue is still from the server end, and desktop end revenue only accounts for 1/5 of the company's revenue. The person in charge said that although the market and profit on the server side still have a lot of room for development, and Linux's mature applications are mainly concentrated on the server side in terms of Linux performance.
