The LiveCD Forums

Just a suggestion.

You've categorised some Linux CDs as Non-English. Is it possible to also specify the particular language(s) that is applicable for the CD?

The reason is I work at a college with students from many countries, who therefore speak many languages. I'd like to introduce them to Linux and would like to suggest to them that they download Linux Live CD ISOs from your excellent site in their own language.

Specifying the language would make it easier to identify appropriate distributions.

This was something I was struggling with when creating the categories. What I ended up doing was create a Non-English category only for live CDs which do not have an English version of their website. I would like to revamp this category, as it is currently only useful for those who do not want to end up at a website that is not in English.

When it comes to the live CDs themselves, many support multiple languages. Knoppix supports 23, and a count of the lastest Gnoppix .9.90b1 beta has 49. Many of the CDs in the "Non-English" category even support English, just not on their website.

Anyway, if you are looking for specific websites in different languages. I started to add them here http://www.frozentech.com/content/test/livecd.php but will probably abandon the way languages are defined on that page in favor of a different method.
