The Kannada Localization project and Tech volunteers group from sampada.net community (http://tech.sampada.net) is happy to announce Debian Chiguru distribution CD release.
The team released this CD on 7th February, 2009 during the GNU/Linux Habba version 3 celebrated at NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte. This distribution has add-ons for Kannadigas to read, write and work with Kannada on their computer.
Chiguru is based on Debian Lenny. The distribution is to focus on providing an improved distribution for Kannada users in particular, and Indian language users in general. This release can be used either as a live CD, or as an installer CD. GUI installer is available.
We have long term goals to develop this distribution to meet specific computing requirements for Kannada users and Karnataka. We encourage users to download, install/run Chiguru and send feedback to the community. This would help us improve it, evolve it into a much useful packaged distribution.

Cheers, Omshivaprakash, Release coordinator

ಸಂಪದ ತಂಡಕ್ಕೆ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು, ನಿಮ್ಮ ಈ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಸಫಲವಾಗಲೆಂದು ಹಾರೈಸುತ್ತೇನೆ
I used it -- it is very nice. atleast for me many problems are solved, many of the office clerks and few others in labs liked it
But some wanted the same thing to be seen on other distros , as already they have installed many softwares and are not ready to immediately change.
Congrats and all the best in your future endeavors

Yes, that is an important concern we at Swathanthra Malayalam Computing understood and we always try to do every change upstream. We provide backports to exisitng distro versions until new changes come by default.
