sidux-manual turned 1 year today. 1 year ago a decision was made to send the the sidux manual 'live' and even though sidux did not have an ISO.

It went 'live' in 2 languages English and German (moto did 85% of the translation to -de)

1 year later sidux-manual is in 12 languages, and currently 2 other languages are in translation mode - Greek and Chinese

A lot has changed since sidux 2007-04 "Ερως" got released, most importantly additional hardware support for concurrent graphics-, DVB-, ALSA- and wireless LAN devices, which suggests to fresh up "Ερως", while continuing the development for sidux 2008-01 "Νυξ". Consequently we are now proud to announce the immediate availability of the sidux 2007-04.5 "Ερως" christmas special for amd64 and i686 systems, shipping in roughly ≈445 MB KDE lite flavours and a combined i386+amd64 release with ≈1430 MB KDE for kde-full.

sidux is a full featured Debian sid based live CD with a special focus on hard disk installations, a clean upgrade path within sid and additional hard- and software support. The ISO is completely based on Debian sid, enriched and stabilized with sidux' own packages and scripts.

The Japanese -ja version of the the sidux Operating System manual with muchan as translator and maintainer hits the sidux site.

Whats more, he did it on his own, and started in November just 5 weeks ago.

The sidux Operating System manual first went live on 28th Dec 2006, so its fitting that muchan representing the Japanese language is the 12th language to be added to mark of the sidux-manuals first aniversary and means that since sidux opened it doors a new language has been added every month!
If printed the sidux OS manual would run to 230+ pages per translation,

The sidux Operating System Manual in Japanese is here

muchan, take a bow, you did it so fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you did it while taking an active part in all other facets of sidux through #IRC,sidux forums and wiki and other backend testing to ensure the best possble outcome for everyone, Just sensational!
