|---|
Consumer electronics giant Panasonic will use Linux instead of Microsoft's Windows Media Centre operating system as a base for multimedia entertainment systems that combine TV, video, and stereo with computers and internet access.
Panasonic executive vice-president Yukio Shohtoku told a news conference in Japan that it was working with Sony and other Japanese electronic firms on a Linux-based system.
He said Panasonic would also use Linux for digital home networking systems that would communicate within the home and across telephone lines.
