ALTLinux-English Edition with Russian Connection

After nearly four (4) days of torrent download, I managed to download DVD version of ALT, which is KDE and with sleek appearance.
Only two Russin Seeders for the entire period of download.
It has OpenOffice, Inkscape and no K3B.
There is paucity of games.
Internet configuration is old and not dynamic.
I was wondering, whether I can recommend it for our schools is in serious doubt.
Unfortunately, it has no educational programs at all.
It looks like Russians are still groping in the dark as far as Linux is concerned.
It is a pity for Russian kids.
They are still under rigid and iron fist, it looks like.
I hope few Russian kids will get together (they have to read my books in English, though) and develop their own Linux Distribution with international flair.
Incidentally there was curious noise / sound with the DVD and the Russian Module for my Taiwanese DVD is not compatible.
Because of that noice i am now switching off and go back to my Debian download with Sinhala Capability.
Good old Russian connection with Sri-Lanka seems to have disappeared into thin air.
By the way six (6) Russians are browsing my blog space.
Thank you guys/girsl for your interest.
My books on Linux are in Amazon Books.
