Sinhala Linux-Ubuntu 11.04

It is encouraging to note that Ubuntu 11.04 that I downloaded today has limited capacity of Sinhala installation among mainly English terminology.

I am happy there are some Sinhala translators in the fold of Canonical and it is a matter of time for a team of Sihhala capable developers to sit along with the Unity (new desktop) Team to unite together to bring out more Sinhala capability.

Desktop is attractive but lot of omissions to my liking.

Omissions are
1. No dropbox
2. No torrents
3. No cheese

I am very happy LibreOffice is there and Ubuntu is always (even though I do not use it on a daily basis but use it for demonstrations of Linux functionality) up front in Linux and its community and commercial efforts are well advanced.

Helping visually handicapped is a remarkable feature of Ubuntu.

I wish them success with their new endeavour with Unity.
