Free Software integrated solution for Governments

A Free Software System know as "GONUX" was launched
on July 2st by the Free Software Consortium ( www.FSC.cc ), a global
organization dedicated to the promotion and commercialisation of free
software.

GONUX is a compilation of programs widely used by
public sector offices in Brazil, Argentina and Spain. It contains the
GNU/Linux Operating System and server, an Office-like suite called Open
Office, email and instant messenger, a calendar, a database, a web browser
application and many other programs.

All these applications have been used and tested previously in dozens
of Latin American and European users at Public Sector offices, in order to
certify their functionality. They have all been designed by highly talented
programmers from all around the world. GONUX is meant to be a common free
government operating system platform for public sector offices worldwide, both
server and client-side.

Therefore, "GONUX is a big step towards the implementation
of a *common Free Software platform* in the public sector around the world",
says, Marie Lopardo FSC?s Communications and Marketing Coordinator.

To obtain a full version of GONUX visit gonux.fsc.cc and register for it.

The Free Software Consortium is offering technical assistance for
GONUX users. For more information, please email gonux@fsc.cc
