Leapsoft launches African Linux distribution

With over 300 Linux distributions currently listed on DistroWatch.com you could be forgiven for thinking there are already more than enough to choose from, but local language and technical support are still potential adoption hurdles.
Lagos, Nigeria-based Leapsoft is aiming to over come those hurdles by providing its Linux distribution in Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo, the three most spoken languages in Nigeria, as well as English. It is also aiming to translate Linux into popular African languages.
The operating system comes with translations of the OpenOffice.org 2.0 productivity suite, multiple browsers, desktop search, automated networking tools, multi-media software, and application development tools, amongst other things.

Starting with Red Hat hiring Lukas Tyrychtr, who is a blind software engineer to lead the effort in improving Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Fedora Workstation in terms of accessibility.
