Pinoy Linux flavor stirs ripple in OS community
The latest version of a locally developed operating system made the country proud early this month when the Linux-based software made a good impression among enthusiasts of the open source community.
The Linux-based operating system, dubbed “KahelOS”, entered the top ten of Distrowatch.com, an online site that charts and monitors Linux distributions (often shortened to “distros”) worldwide, upon its release.
The free software, which can be installed on desktops and laptops, was developed by Pasig City-based open source firm 8layer Technologies as part of its contribution to the open source movement.
Deng Silorio, one of the top executives of 8layer Technologies, said they developed the first version of KahelOS with no funding two years ago.
