Bhutan releases Dzongkha Debian Linux
The Bhutan government has launched their own version of Linux which has been named Dzongkha Debian Linux.
As seen from the name, it is based on Debian and it has been designed around the national language of the country Dzongkha.
It has been designed to co-exist with existing operating system on a computer machine. Users can also use it as a Live CD!
It has been under development over a period of 13 months and the government has spent around US$80,000 on it.
They are now working on addition newer functionalities on it like Text to Speech, Speech Recognition, and Optical Character Recognition.
Interested users could get their CDs for free from the Department of Information and Technology.
It’s sad to know that Indian government has shown little interest in Linux except for some rare deployments.
