vietnam again - lin-cds kicks (MS) butt (Score 3, Informative)

... just building a bit on both this story and the earlier slashdot conflag' entitled Vietnam goes open source

Two great new Vietnamese language Linux CD-distros are now available -- and make great toys for loading up Windows or Linux partitions straight past most file security most people apply:

01 KDLC 9.2 rc1 - Mandrake/Gnome based, ftp iso download

02 knoppix 3.3 caugiay - Knoppix/KDE based, ftp iso download

We're approaching fully localized OSS OS's and Office suites for the vast majority of the 80 million plus Vietnamese who can neither speak English nor afford MS's global one-price policy for licenses.

NB: MS promised an effective Viet-localized Windows/Office release back in '95. But, to date, nothing they've delivered has made a dent in the pirated US-English MS Vietnam-market-share (90%+).

Viva la HeteroISCult[TM,01]!
Down with HomoISCult [02].

All the best from,

Notes:
[01] heterogenous info-systems culture
[02] What does inbred pitbulls and an MS-monopolized IS infrastructure have in common? They're both crazed and dangerous.
