Hi all,
                                                                                
                               
See http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,2924170a6022,00.html
                                                                                
                               
"Dick Smith Electronics is the first retailer to join a Linux certification 
scheme launched by New Zealand's Open Source Society."
                                                                                
                               
Basically the NZ OSS society tests the hardware for linux compatibility
and if it works, the vendor gets to put a "Linux Friendly" logo on the
product.

Does this kind of scheme have a chance to take off in India? Any thoughts?
Personally I think this is a nice way to make money and promote linux at
the same time :-)

(From a Linux Lunacy cruise interview. After the presumptuous disparagement
of QC, Linus goes on to confuse it with DNA computing.)
