Re: Kubuntu, Arabic Edition

Wa 3alaikum el-salam Abo Shihab,

Thanks for ur e-mail.

The idea of Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Arabic Edition is better described in http://iraqilinux.org/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=837&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

As for ur question why Kubuntu and not Ubuntu: Mainly because I (and many other people including Torvald himself) find KDE better than Gnome.

But I found Gnome is having a more complete translation, so I built an Arabic Edition of Ubuntu too.

As for Edgy, I donno, never had the chance to download it, especially it has a bad reputation in term of reliability and I mainly work in server side linux.

as-salamu alaykom,

jazak Allahu khairan, I was wondering if anyone has a fix for the acon
package in Edgy. The problem is that cp-1256 keymap does not work,
although if I recall correctly, it did work in Dapper (acon package
wasn't in their repos in Dapper, but I used to have a self-built
package while using Dapper).

Btw, why Kubuntu & not Ubuntu ?
