Is that in english ? shame you didn't post a URL for Alt Linux ( http://www.altlinux.ru ). visiting the site I was impressed by the new packages list (at least I assume it was the new packages list) but as I don't read russian, and so - I believe - many of the global linux community and particularly IGLU - and this is a russian speaking oriented linux distro, as such is not really relevant to israeli users.
