A panel of experts in China has approved a computer operating system for servers developed in the country.

The Kylin operating system, developed by China's University of Science and Technology for National Defense, was approved by a panel of experts from the state 863 Hi-tech Research and Development Program office, Xinhua, China's official government-run news agency, reported Monday.

The developers of Kylin said it is compatible with other commonly used operating systems and supports multiple microprocessors and computers of different structures. The operating system has been authenticated by the international Linux Standard Base and Free Standards Group.

The developers said the system will be put into service in the financial, government, education and stock sectors.
