Operation System (OS) Linux is not well known in Armenia. Often it
is used for internet providers and organizations as server. Linux as
desktop for workstations is not far in use here in Armenia.
One of the problems may be OS language. For nowadays it is
very important for many people to work on computer using native
language. Basically it is necessary for pupils and kids in the
preschool education.
That's means that we must provide our compatriots with such OS which
has following options.
* Price simplicity: it means that the OS is free.
* Easy installation: the system should install needed software by
default, and only for experts may be other options.
* OS functionality may take into consideration the preferences of
software for Armenian users.
* OS in essence must be developed as Open Source, involving world-wide
experience (we do not mean that our offered system must be the only
Armenian OS. It is in great need to translate other OS, too. Simply,
we want other users to have an opportunity to use free OS and software,
which can be used on present, past and future computers.)
The author of the Hrat GNU/Linux project is Vardan Gevorgyan, who
manages a small group of volunteers. The project is open, interested
may join. More, we think that the success of the project and the
power of considered system mostly relays on the compatriot's support.
The Hrat GNU/Linux OS is based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
Project can be supported in follow:
1. Translations 2. Package creations 3. Donation
1. Translation
Now we work on the translate.debian.am web-site, which gives an
opportunity for interested people (translators) to make translations
on-line.
People who have made any translations will be involved in the file
header as a translator.
Unless the translate.debian.am web-site is in creation process the
translations will be done by e-mail.
2. Package Creation
For this kind of support the deep computer skills are needed:
especially in Linux OS.
