Seriously, guys, you really need to hire a public relations firm or a web seo outfit. It's like you are always operating in Stealth Mode, like you are in, in, in government. Oh, wait...
Come on guys, act like Linux geeks! Get a twitter account or something. Oh well, maybe they have an NDA or something.
Their new website got Vicky Belo'd. Pretty.
Here's their newest Press Release:
Updated Bayanihan ISOs are now ready for download!
Friday, 10 July 2009 17:11
Hello everyone! Kamusta!
It's been a few months since the latest release of Bayanihan (Kalumbata) and by now some of the software we've bundled in the initial release (Revision0) have already been updated upstream. So here we go -- it's time we update the installer to include these newer versions by default with the release of Bayanihan5 (Kalumbata) - Revision1.
If you already have an existing installation of Kalumbata don't worry -- YOU DO NOT NEED TO REINSTALL Bayanihan. It's very simple to upgrade your system using the Synaptic Package Manager. You have the choice of either upgrading through the online repository or via the Revision1 installer CD. If you choose to update your system via CD, just click on Add CD-ROM in the Edit menu and follow the instructions on screen.
Cheers and happy FOSSing! -- by Rage.
Codenamed "Kalumbata", the latest version of Bayanihan Desktop features an easy-to-install single CD distribution.
This edition has the following features:
* New graphical installer

PS: Good Luck to You Guys and Gals
I'd like to see my country's (Italy) government doing something like this
ReplyDeleteI will call Silvio tomorrow :D jk
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of initiative. Bayanihan Linux however is not that well adopted here in the Philippines - probably because they don't exert efforts towards a full blown education and publicity campaign. Also because, Linux is not that well known yet. Curiously most of the Linux crowd I've come across so far on the web are based in the provinces.
Thanks for the heads-up on Bayanihan Linux. I almost forgot about this Linux distro. Maybe, we should start promoting it again. Can we have your review of Kalumbata soon?
ReplyDeleteSorry, my cdrw conked out and I tried installing it on my virtual machine but I only managed to install it - when it came to running Bayanihan on Virtualbox, the screen locks up and usually kills Virtualbox. I managed to see some parts of it though - It runs KDE 3.5. Aside from that, wala na po. I don't know when I can test it again since I think the issue would have to do something with the memory allocated for virtual box.
ReplyDeleteI suggest that you test it yourself na din.
Cheers!
Yes, I will install it and do my own test pero siyempre mas maganda yung review na galing sa expert. Hintayin namin.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!
