Bottom line is: Linux must support the Euro before the European Central
Bank is foudned (in a couple of months), or at least before the new
Single Currency starts on 1 January 1999. If it isn't ready when cash
comes in circulation in 2001, then we're dead. They'll actually have a
_practical_ reason not to use Linux, and we wouldn't wan't that to
happen, do we? I rememeber Linus once said, "I don't care what they want
to do [graphical stuff and such], I'll just make sure the kernel
supports it." 1) I'm not sure this quote is accurate, and 2) I don't
know enough about OS to say that support should be in the kernel. But
you get the idea.
