Review: Bayanihan Linux 4
,----[ Quote ]
| Bayanihan Linux 4 is a pretty good, simple, distribution. It is
| easy to install and manage and it gets you going quickly right out of
| the box. That being said it doesn?t have all the latest gizmos and eye
| candy of the current wave of Linux distributions. It also doesn?t have
| a huge package repository, but you can probably add some more.
|
| It's not bad for a government sponsored distribution and if it gets
| more people to switch to Linux, that?s a good thing. Power users will
| want more than Bayanihan provides, but the average computer user will
| find all they need in Bayanihan.

New RP-developed Linux 'looks, feels' like Windows XP
,----[ Quote ]
| The Department of Science and Technology-Advanced Science and
| Technology (DOST-ASTI) recently launched the Bayanihan Linux
| version 4 (BL4) and this time, it looks more like Microsoft
| Windows XP than the Macintosh OS.
|
| BL4 is now based on Linux Debian Stable, unlike the previous
| version that used Fedora. Likewise, BL4 uses the KDE graphical
| user interface that gives it a Microsoft Windows XP look.
