Version1.5.2 is bug fixing, and polished display, languages and function explanations. Remastering program is much clearer to use in english.
This distro has five languages. I am calling for more developers to help them build more language versions, and work on explanations to run programs much easier.
It is worth the trouble, since soon they will have 1 million downloads at sourceforge. Now this version is downloaded at austrumi.ru.lv, the university website in Latvia.
Good luck and come lend a hand? All new language version should replace the russian version(blin origin) and compare with english version for translation. Next version v1.6.0 should be ready by December, 2007? Russian developers that do other language tranlation would be especially welcomed.
Easiest way is to take many sheets of paper. Start with the boot screen in english, translate every word to your language. Then start with russian version and translate every word in your language. Every sheet of paper has a screen with russian language and your translation, and submit to Andrejs for approval and to do the locale and keyboard maps etc. You should sign on the paper if english version translation also fits your new language translation.
Eventually, even webpages will only be framebuffers of pixels and colors with occassional icons for mouse clicks. All languages will be pixels and colors analog codes for super data compression ratio and reduced bandwidth transmission speeds, not ascii digital codes.
In the end, to speed up writing terminal displays and webpages; we have to use FAX software with buried html links with borders and toolbar video pictures, instead of tk, gtk+2 or QT.

Why FAX software will have revival of interests in Linux distro?
The work load of redesigning GUI is wasting too much time of high powered developers.
FAX has the advantage of video compression in data transfer ease and speed by video compression ratio of 900%. Buried html links can do wonders of GUI extending the terminal or webpage to other sources of information. And borders are easily added to FAX content. We just need a video picture of a toolbar with buried links to install drivers(could even be downloaded last minute), for any computer devices.
So, if we adapt FAX software to Drupal, the transfer of webpages will be much faster. The video compression will be automatically encoded, and decoding will be perhaps Mpeg4/h.264, including MP3 sound?
One of the ways to speed up distro bug fixing, has to be simplified terminal display writing and webpage writing. Then, we only have to do file system checkup for conflicts and missing bindings(file names) filtered to run perfect distros.
What Tuxmachines did for austrumi.slackers.lv ?
Download site for Austrumi v1.5.2 was visited 132 times, so far from 32 times originally?
11 persons joined slackers.lv, since Tuxmachines called for developers in their membership list? Previously in July they had two persons joined their membership.
We need more time for developers to join Austrumi?
re: austrumi
well good on you atang. I've always liked austrumi. It should be 'what atang did for austrumi.'
Add languages ? The right and wrong ways ?
Austrumi had forum discussions of the right and wrong way to add languages.

Have fun. In the install script, austrumi.fs is used to install language versions using cheatcodes on boot screen.
