Events Planned

Software on display

• Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/) is the Linux distribution that was chosen by Dell to be installed on some of their computer. The latest version Ubuntu “Hardy Heron” 8.04 LTS is installed on all the computers of the CNF in Hanoi. It is available to users either in French (default), Vietnamese or English languages. People interested can ask for a free Ubuntu LiveCD (installable to the hard disk).

• Hacao Linux (see http://hacao.com/) is a small Vietnamese Linux distribution, based on Puppy Linux (http://www.puppylinux.org/), by Nguyễn Quang Trường. The Hacao Office 2.16 VN version integrates the free bureautic suite OpenOffice.org 2.2 in Vietnamese and can be installed to a 256 MB USB drive.

  • Hacao Linux LiveCD (installable to a hard disk and to USB drives) will be sold for a nominal fee of 5 thousands dong (why do we sell this one ? Because we bought it to raise fund and encourage our friend Nguyễn Quang Trường from Ho Chi Minh City who has created a nice vietnamese distribution).

• OpenCD vietnamese version : see http://www.opendisc.org/ is a CD full of free software for windows if you haven’t decided to make the jump yet
