First Trying of BlankOn v6.0 Ombilin



Today Tuesday September 14, 2010 is my first trying of another Linux variant. This variant is from Indonesian. Very unique in my opinion since it uses a name from common Indonesian tribe namely Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, Madurese, etc. This Linux is BlankOn v6.0. This version of BlankOn comes with the name code Ombilin.

According to documentation, this BlankOn is derived from Ubuntu, so you can try BlankOn using Live CD without needed to change your computer settings. Another interesting side of this Linux is the use of Indonesian Language for most of the application menu, but not of them. Hmm, actually this would make me confuse since in computer application some people are familiar in English language. But this is not a big problem. If we use Indonesian language more often, so we will familiar. We just need a time to get adaptation.

Anyway, if you want to try BlankOn, you may download via this linkhttp://www2.blankonlinux.or.id/unduh/. Don't forget to prepare a space in your harddisk or flash disk for about 700 MB. After that, you may burn the downloaded iso file into the CD using Nero. And... a Live CD for BlankOn is ready.

Please underline that this posting is written using Live CD of BlankOn Ombilin version. Good job! Alhamdulillah.
