Re: Debian-based distros in a new page?
I think description for the Debian JP is outdated. Following may be
more true. (Please verify someone who has some tie with them. I am not
a member of Debian JP.)
---- x8
<H2 name="debian-jp">Debian JP</A>
<p><a href="http://www.debian.or.jp/";>Debian JP</a> (mostly in Japanese)
was a volunteer-driven effort intended in making Debian-based
distribution based on <em>Bo</em>, <em><a
href="$(HOME)/News/1998/19980828">Hamm</a></em> and <em>Slink</em>
versions customized for the Japanese end-users. Improvements included
internationalization of the Debian distribution and released few CDs.
<p>Since <em>Potato</em> started supporting locale directly through
<em>Glibc (libc6)</em>, <a
href="http://www.debian.or.jp/releases/jp-release.html.en";>Debian JP
project members migrated their packages to the main Debian project and
contributed all the previous works to the main project</a>. Now Debian
JP project is mostly reduced to the translation projects and user
support mailing lists.
<p>Debian JP provides links to the <a
href="http://www.debian.or.jp/CDROM.html";>Debian CDROM</a> disk images
localized for Japanese based on the official release and old libc5
based Debian JP CDs. (In Japanese)
