Hi, m654321!

Frankly speaking, I'm using a very similar alternative distro to LL now, due to its good Russian locale. Shame on me! Though I know English quite enough, Russian makes me feel at home and very comfortable with 'Russian-speaking' Linux.
Quote:I heard through the media, maybe a year ago that Russia, as a whole country, were officially changing from Microsoft Windows to Linux operating systems.Is that true?
You know, Russia is a democratic state, not an authoritarian one, so PC users think for themselves what operating system to use, it is fully up to their own decision. By the way, don't believe everything that is spoken on the radio or on TV, or what is written in 'yellow' press. I always do that. There are computers with preinstalled Windows, with preinstalled Linux and fully 'clean' computers in the shops in Russia - anything to a consumer's taste. When my old netboot breaks for ever, I will buy a notebook with preinstalled Linux. It's my choice.
Most likely, you have mixed up something. Read this article about how Munich switched to Linux. It is in Russian but you can use an online translator or your browser means, if any, to translate the news from Russian into English. Although, the city has recently turned to Windows again, as far as I know. Find out about this strange story about Linux vs Windows on the Internet.
