Multi-lingual CD's

[Rakesh 'arky' Ambati]

Hello Friends,

    In the last Gnu(s) Grazing,I remember someone's
pointing out the advantage having a multi-lingual
liveCD's while promoting Free Software. 

    I guess we don't need to build such distro's coz
most of the work has been done by Dr.Nagarjuna and his
 team(Please see the thread).What needs to be done is
lot of extensive testing and feedback.

  The work is really cut-out for us.
    Anyone game for it.
