Just to let you know that deep in the countryside of rural Dorset I have one computer – at work – which has Guadalinex as the main operating system. I love it! It does everything I want – ant it helps me to practice my Spanish! Unfortunately the machine has a CD drive but no DVD drive so I can’t upgrade…..

Sorry Vic. It occured to me last night that i may have been tooo defensive and misinterpreted your question. Please ignore my previous posts here. It occured to me that it would be nice to try Guadalinex to see the differences and to gain a greater understanding of Andalucía. As with many people who’s first language is english i can’t speak any other language(!) so i could probably only appreciate Guadalinex fully if it does have english translations in it. Presumably these could come from mainstream ubuntu or upstream?

Thanks for your patience and regards from
Tom

As a longtime linux advocate, I wish thank you for your English translation. I believe Spain is definitely investing in an area were the need is very important. There are too many people worldwide that find themselves unable buy mainstream computers with expensive software. Bravo!!

Excellent write up … Thank You, Merci, Migwetch from Canada.

[...] Guadalinex v6 is out! I am pleased to announce that the final version of Guadalinex v6 is out The official news are at the Guadalinex website. But it’s in Spanish, so I’ve decided to explain a bit (in my poor English) what is all about. Before to start I like to thank to all those people who help to develop, test, fix, translate and document all those great projects which Guadalinex is based on. I really do. They make this possible and deserve most of the credits. [...]

Thanks! I am only beginning to learn Spanish, but one of these days (or months) I would like to set up an all-Spanish partition. I’ve bookmarked the Guadalinex site for future installation.

From your article, I learned something about Spain, too. I never really thought of any part of Spain being rural and of low population, but it seems like Andalusia is that way.

Oh. Your English isn’t weak at all. I understood every word.

Now i understand why mainstream ubuntu has such a huge % of completed translations into Spanish It’s great to see this project feeding back into mainstream Ubuntu so successfully. )

As far as i know mainstream Ubuntu makes a huge effort to push their translations upstream and also collects translations from upstream to try to complete their own internal translations faster. It’s not easy! Just sharing with Ubuntu means those translations will gradually filter into Debian and even completely different linux families.

I’m not sure if it would help to focus on getting all the translations straight upstream rather than to Ubuntu 1st. It would help Debian a little, but not much – while at the same time it would make it slower getting the translations into use inside Ubuntu which is the number 1 distro for people new to linux these days.

So really i think the way Guadalinex is currently doing things is possibly the best way for linux as a whole.

thanks and regards from
Tom
