SUSE Linux 10.1 released

The latest version of the famous Linux distribution, SUSE Linux, was released recently. With the good cooperation between KhmerOS and Novell, finally we were able to make SUSE Linux 10.1 the first Linux distribution that works well with Khmer out of the box. By choosing Khmer as the installation language (yes, you can install in Khmer), you'll get Khmer font, keyboard and many application translated.

Some problem still exist though. One of the Khmer fonts (named Khmer OS) is broken due to the lacking of testing, the translation of OpenOffice is not included on the media due to the space is limited. Another problem is the translation. In this release, SUSE include only KDE 3.5.1 which mean many Khmer translation are missed for KDE.


You can download the complete ISOs from the URLs below or get them at Open Forum of Cambodia. We can burn them on CDs for you, but DON'T forget to bring your own CDs :-)
