The UK's first Linux dedicated non-subscription ISP will be launched within the next two weeks by UKLinux.net with all profits going to the open source foundation, according to a reseller at this year's IT Forum show at Olympia.

A spokesperson from Definite Linux , the largest Linux distributor in the UK made the revelation at the show on Wednesday.

The new Linux optimised ISP will apparently also provide technical support for all distributions of Linux in an effort to get even the most technology-phobic Brit surfing Linux-style.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
