Announcing this at a news conference here, Javed Tapia, director Red Hat India, said that the new version would include productivity applications such as office suite with a word processor, spread sheet, presentation tool as well as a web browser.
The Bangladesh version would also feature the Gnome desktop with localised Red Hat tools for system administration. He said since over 90 million Indians spoke Bengali, it was imperative to develop a software in Bengali and other local languages.
Tapia said that the Red Hat Bangladesh desktop would definitely help in playing a significant role in ensuring that benefits of the IT revolution were reached to the Bengalis.
The Bangla Linux desktop also has the potential to change education and e-governance. In addition to Bangla, Red Hat would also introduce other languages like Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi and Tamil.
