This needs a more thorough discussion. Mohammed isn't the one who stopped it, this was actually the result of a vote (http://lists.arabeyes.org/archives/doc/2004/June/msg00291.html). So I would expect that we need a discussion to overturn this. Before we start the discussion, though, we need to know what has happened there. In short, the translation was completed and a new young community is growing there. As I am (marginally) participating there, I wouldn't give details but rather refer you to the mailing list https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-trans-ar . At least so you can give a more educated opinion about the work there. If you ask me about my opinion, I would rather have the work under the Arabeyes roof (I still do, yes).. > Ubuntu blew me away, Novells NLD too, maybe some work in that direction. I am actualy very much interested in Ubuntu. My grudges against Debian are almost all solved there (updated system every 6 months, up to date security patches, etc). Admittedly, my grudges against Fedora are also getting less and less as they use more and more of the default gnome and kde systems, so I am not sure if I will switch. Novell NLD? Suse, maybe, but a 'buy it, try it free' product? Unlikely.. Enjoy linuxing, Arafat, for the whole Arab world benefits from your enjoyment:) Salam, Muhammad Alkarouri ___________________________________________________________ Moving house?
