The World's First Arabic Live-CD released

[nadim at arabeyes dot org (Nadim Shaikli)]

Arabeyes would like to announce the first full public release of Arabbix.
Version 0.8 will be distributed (courtesy of the Saudi Computer Society)
at Gitex in Dubai (Oct 19 - 23) and is, as always, available for download
free of any charges.

Arabbix is the world's first Arabic Live-CD (run-from-CD) distribution that
showcases Arabeyes' and others' accomplishments and results - it includes
most of the applications an Arab user might require or need.  Arabbix is not
only intended to attract new users and to cement the virtues of Open Source
and Linux as a fully functional Arabic desktop medium, but is also hoped
that it will engrave into people's hearts and minds Arabeyes' "can be done"
and "results oriented" attitude and goals.

Arabeyes would like to thank its many volunteers for their time, hard work
and perseverance in bringing this project to reality while enduring extreme
duress due to an aggressive schedule and many deadlines.  Arabbix is a true
LEAP FORWARD for all Arabic Open Source/Linux users.
