From the 'how open is your country' files:

Red Hat today published a new study together with Georgia Tech mapping open source activity across 75 countries. Officially called the Open Source Index (OSI), the final score is made of a number of factors including policies, practices in the Government, Industry, and Community. Topping the list current is France with a score of 1.35. Spain is second at 1.07, Germany third at 1.05.

The United States came in 9th overall according to the study, Canada came in 28th.

You mean Mandriva?

I checked where my country, Denmark, is on the list ,and we're number 10, seems very high for a Microsoft colony like us.

I do indeed mean Mandriva. I like Mandriva, I just wish that we had as many packages that worked as Ubuntu does. Most things won't even work with Mandriva. Most as in like 3. But whatever. Not to mention the Amazon mp3 downloader. I run Ubuntu in Virtualbox just for amazon mp3. Doom works in ubuntu and not in Mandriva and so on...
