Re: [OSS] Re: Vietnamese experience with CVS or similar

In general, I prefer to localize eg. Mandrake (which is in fact done
already) over an own Vietnamese one.

However, if the Vietnamese distro is done in "Debian style", i.e. as a
community project, i.e. not by a single company, then there are some
distinct advantages:

I agree with both points. I recommend using Debian as the starting
point, since Debian has already done the job of rejecting the non-free
packages. Mandrake shows sympathy for the idea of rejecting non-free
packages, but has not made a systematic and careful attempt to
distinguish them.
