Chinese 2000, a Linux distribution produced by Hong Kong-based Culturecom Holdings, is now available as a free download: cd1gpl102.iso (638MB). As the file name indicates, this is a GPL version stripped of 20 proprietary Chinese fonts as well as KaiOffice (a Chinese enabled, modified version of OpenOffice) found in the boxed version. The distribution's product page is long on detail. It is interesting to note that Culturecom's Vice President is Henry Chu, a well-known figure in Taiwan where he is often referred to as "the father of Chinese computing". Henry Chu is the inventor of Cang Jie, a Chinese character input method based on character shapes rather than phonetic symbols -- a 1980 invention which led to rapid increase in adoption of computer technology throughout the Chinese speaking world. The distribution supports both traditional and simplified Chinese (including printing), as well as English. Visit our Chinese 2000 page for more information.

| About Chinese 2000 Linux
|
| Chinese 2000 is a simple, stable and easy-to-use computer O/S. The applications and resolutions have been successfully localised both linguistically and culturally and this enables the usage of Chinese in carrying out commands and operations. Chinese 2000 is suitable for both family and business users and it can be used as workstations and servers. As it can coexist with other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, that allows users to have more choices in the market. Chinese 2000 is based on Red Hat Linux. It also certifies the Borland development tools which complies with the Chinese 2000 v1.0 platform. One of the greatest advantages of using Chinese 2000 v1.0 is that users can enjoy customer hotline support once registered with us through our website. Users can also download various software from our website without additional charges.

Virtual-Linux
Why was Virtual-Linux created? Well, I was pretty tired with the silly bootdisks you can download, plus I wanted to learn more about the Linux core. I then decided to build a ramdisk based system of my own, and after a while I ended up with a cdbased rescue system with a builtin firewall. Then, after having tested a few of the existing big cdbootable systems that were very slow and had very poor performance, a new project started to take shape in my mind. After some late nights investigating some existing soloutions, my own concept was born: 1. Use a commercial distribution as base (Mandrake Linux). 2. Implement as much as possible of the original functions without many hardware/memory requirements. 3. Put as much software as possible on one cd. 4. Make it easy to configure / Autodetect as much as possible. 5. Implement live filesystem compression. 6. Ramdisk Compression.
