The world’s second Linux international standard testing lab was set up in China’s capital of Beijing on Friday.

Sponsored by China’s Information Industry Ministry, the lab was jointly established by China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI) and Intel Corporation.

“It will help promote Linux education and awareness among Chinese IT companies and cut the cost of homemade Linux Operating System (OS),” said Mo Wei, director of CESI, adding that the lab will provide statistical evidence for the forthcoming national Linux standard.

The major task of the Beijing-based lab is to set a unified standard for Chinese software developers, said Mo.

No comment. Except I love this Linuxzilla image.
