|
|
<p>Harish Tampi has requested the removal of the Acer Laptop HOWTO due to a lack of time from his part to keep it up to date. However, info for this brand of portables can be found at <a href=
|
|
"http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/acer.html" target="_top">the Linux on Laptops site</a>, section Acer Laptop and Notebook Computers, or at <a href="http://www.tuxmobile.org/acer.html" target=

|
|
<p>You might have noticed that the French translation effort, <a href="http://fr.tldp.org/" target="_top">http://fr.tldp.org/</a>, has been pretty motionless for a long time. However, the <a href=
|
|
"http://www.traduc.org/" target="_top">Traduc site</a> is quite active.</p>
|
|
<p>Apart from regular news updates, this sites features the <em>traduc po</em>, which allows tracking of the state of translations for different packages. Also worth noticing is the translation to
|
|
French of the <a href="http://www.traduc.org/docs/lgazette/etat_gazette.php?1..2" target="_top">Linux Gazette</a>.</p>
