Friends,
We are glad to inform you that, 2nd installable Bangla distro based on
Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) [0] has released. The codename of this
release is Hoimonti (হৈমন্তী). The first one, Sraboni (শ্রাবণী), was
based on Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) [1].
Some new features over the default Gutsy installation:
* Customized Debian/Ubuntu Installer: It will take less inputs
then usual text installer
* After installation it will boot into Bangla locale (ie. bn_BD
locale) by default
* Some important software are included,
o Banshee - Audio Management and Playback application
o Gnash - free SWF movie player
o Gnome-PPP - modem internet connection tool for the GNOME Desktop
o GParted - GNOME partition editor
o Ogle - DVD player with support for DVD menus
o VLC Player - multimedia player and streamer
* Some codecs are included which will help to play various
audio/video files out of the box
* Some updated deb packages (ie. Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.8)
Some issues:
* There might be some issues while installation if the CDROM is
old, DMA enable/desabled, S.M.A.R.T. enable/desabled for IDE channels.
* If you put IP address during installation but there is no
Internet connection, then it will take un-wanted delays cause it tries
to download some packages from the Internet.
* Internal modems might not work/be detected/need to download
restricted modules.
* Gutsy itself has some issues which are mentioned in their
Release Notes [2].
* Let us know if you get any.

Regards,
-Jamil
