Or perhaps there is just a stronger focus on free software and Open Source in these regions.Linux-powered internet radio platform raises potential for third party expansion.Pure, the British company best known for its DAB digital radios, has launched its first radio capable of receiving internet stations along with an iTunes-like web-based media portal it has dubbed the ‘Pure Lounge’.Linux: Low end capable does not mean inferiorOne of the things that Microsoft has been silently beating Linux over the head with for the past couple of years is that, since Linux works so well on older, and lower end PC’s, it is an inferior, obsolete, and outdated OS.
