A quick question, the CNews article from awhile back refers to
ALT Linux as well as Russian OS.  Is the correct way to
reference it 'ALT Linux'?

I know no "Russian OS"; there were a few attempts to (ab)use
that, as well there's at least one Linux-related project long
sponsored by government/army.
I guess the article did focus quite a bit on breaking the hold of 'foreign' software, when 'where' the software is from has little to do with the licensing expenses that have led to this situation. If Russia is considering utilizing something like this every school computer by 2009, it would be interesting to learn what sort of steps ALT Linux is taking to prepare for such a deployment - Alexey Novodvorsky noted a infrastructure would need to be built for development/support/and information.

Thanks for the clarification.
