MoLinux: From Progeny To Greatness

Posted by michael on from the yo-quiero-molinux dept.

linuxbeta writes "MoLinux 1.0 is a new Spanish distribution based on Progeny Debian with the Anaconda installer, that is headed for greatness. At OSDir we couldn't let this one slip by with a screenshot tour, so here it is."

    All the BitTorrent sites need to move to developing nations, and parts of Asia where there are few or no copyright laws. In places where people are struggling just to find food, the idea that vapor has value is too absurd to even consider. Move your sites there.

      Sorry wrong thread. Once I logged in, the story at the top of the page changed. Why does that happen? Anyway, arent there already a zillion Linux distros in every real language, and some fake ones like Klingon?

  2. Hmmm... by greenhide · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't a lot of distributions have multi-language offerings built in? That is, you just choose your language at the start of installation, and from that point on, everything is in your language of choice?

    I don't see what makes this distribution better than any other. The screenshots make it seem same old, same old.

    Okay, this sounds very trollish. But I wonder where the line is between "Hey, check out this neat project that I personally like" and "This is actually something relevant to other people".

      Yes, sir: you can also set your LOCALE and 80% of the program will "change their language" for you.

      But not *all* of them will behave this way.

      That's why sometimes new distributions will come out with PROPER wording in one's language.

      Hopefully, the changes will also be main-streamed ;)

    Debian, plus the pretty-ness of Anaconda. I think the others distros could learn a lot from this.

    While I first thought "bah, repackaged RedHat" from looking at the screens, I quickly realized it had a crucial difference (aside from being Debian) -- it actually looked good. Looks like they spent plenty of time choosing replacement graphics, as it looks quite stunning for a default installation.

    I can speak neither Spanish nor about the Spanish-specific aspect, but it sounds good. I'm thinking the advantage here is that it's completely localized -- that is, if Spanish ports of AppX exist, they'll use it instead. Not entirely sure. Also, if anyone knows, are they using a UTF-8 locale by default?
