Nepalinux already is a distro. Nepali Free Software developers/admins/packagers/translators could work on that instead perhaps? :-) Ubuntu/Fedora is another possibility. These distros could be packaged up in such a manner that all the debs/rpms be included in Nepali context (software that will be used by Nepali in Nepali language or some such) with additional helpful nepali codebase. Pravin bro is suggesting a rather radical idea because it involves building a distro with software from ground up (read DRY principle). Right? Using existing distros as base/s install, all the software can be had easily (obviously packagers,translators and other help will be needed). -- Regards, Ishwor Gurung -- FOSS Nepal mailing list: foss-nepal@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: foss-nepal+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com Mailing List Guidelines: http://wiki.fossnepal.org/index.php?title=Mailing_List_Guidelines Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/
