Extremadura, Valencia and Catalonia on GNU/Linux (English Media Does Not Mention This or Barely Mentions This)
AN associate of the site wished to interject something on a tangent, as Spain is mentioned again this week in relation to a Debian death. "Several regions have upgraded to GNU/Linux but have thus become ignored by the mainstream press," he said. "It might help to enumerate those regions and when they upgraded, and how."
We recently took note of GNU/Linux growing in Spain. It rose to a new all-time high.
Psydroid, who can speak Spanish, told us: "I know about Extremadura, Valencia and Catalonia [moving to GNU/Linux] but there must be newer articles in Spanish/Catalan that delve further into the issue. I get quite a few hits for "adopción gnu/linux en españa y latinoamerica" [though many readers cannot comprehend these] and it's always possible to use a translator."
Psydroid says "one of the problems is that English media don't cover much in the non-English speaking world and if they do, it's usually more as a novelty than reflecting the actual state of things." █
