"A Chinese software vendor has won a contract to deliver one of the
nation's biggest Linux deployments to date, including more than 140,000
desktop PCs."
[...]
"Sun Wah Linux will install RAYS LX, its Debian-based Linux workstation
distro, as the default operating system on the desktop PCs. . According
to Minou Nguyen, a U.S.-based Sun Wah Linux spokesperson, although the
project at one time specified Microsoft Windows as the desktop OS, Sun
Wah "managed to turn these desktops into dual-boot machines with RAYS LX
as the preferred loading OS.""
For informtion about RAYS LX, see:

"Applications

* Mozilla web browser

* GGV Postscript viewer
* gThumb photo album
* GIMP image manipulation program

I'm not sure if Pui-Lam is still subscribed to this list, so have cc'd
to see if he has any other information about the roll-out.
All the best
