[ubuntu-my] Ubuntu-my Digest, Vol 20, Issue 10

Wed Aug 13 15:55:34 BST 2008

Hi,

Everybody thanks for all the messages and contributions to the item Dell - Ubuntu.

I have proposed to the Dell Organization to distribute lap- and desktops for Ubuntu in Malaysia and - if possible - to other Asian countries.

Untill now not any reaction. It is possible that Dell has obligations towards Microsoft regarding other Operation Systems in other regions. If so then they have to be open about that!! 

I have proposed to Dell to make promotion in Low Yat (as volunteer) with the Dell machine and Ubuntu. Why they don't react is not clear to me.

What a possiblity is just go to Dell Cyber Jaya and ask the managing director how about this.

What you all need to know is that the "Ubuntu-Dell"-machines are just available in a few countries. As far as I know these ones:
- Germany
- France
- Great britain
- USA (not sure)
- Italy (not sure)
- Netherlands

Another issue is the video-codecs:
I proposed to integrate all the video-linux-W32-codecs into the vm-player; kaffeine; xlc-player software
Now you have to download by hand supplementary software - Medibuntu - (especially RMVB (Chinese Discuss.com))

The other issue of me is the ERP-software.
Maybe you are not so interested in this item.
Although if you are planning or really studying IT then this is a quite interesting discipline.
In short it is quite complex to get running ERP-software because you have to install and configure quite a few dependencies.
Maybe in future we can formate task-force for this - ideal would be with Malaysian qualified University - 
Advantages:
- students can graduate in this quite complex field
- students have the opportunity to promote themselves to bigger companies like DIGI Petronas etcetera
- contribution to the Ubuntu-community
- later contribution to all who are interesting in this

Indeed Malaysia is a nice country. very nice.

I only can say this: Be happy you live in Malaysia. Other neighbouring countries people's circumstances in every aspect are heavier!!

For Me Malaysia is the Switzerland of Asia together with Singapore Hong Kong (maybe Taiwan and Korea and some parts of People's Republic of China).

Again thank you all.

And....take care.

Hai,

Thank you for letting us know about it. This is indeed a good news for all
of us here as our dream finally has come true. As whether we had approach
Dell regarding this, my answer is no but I am not sure about the others.

Malaysia is a nice country, don't you think so? =)

Well, it is good to see more computer manufacturers are supporting or
providing other alternative OSes beside Windows. This will help in
boosting the adoption of FOSS / Linux in Malaysia.
