There's an English wiki: http://en.altlinux.org which is however far behind the Russian one (http://www.altlinux.org). > How about the mailing list. Is this list still active? More or less; over the years it was somewhere near this level of activity, or below it, so I'd say now it's rather "more". Just for comparison, Russian-spoken ones are a bit traffickey: http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.altlinux.community.english http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.altlinux.community http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.altlinux.sysadmins http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.altlinux.hardware http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.altlinux.sisyphus http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.altlinux.devel Guess it might help to ask things here and then decide whether/how to post 'em to the wiki, probably locating and translating/adapting preexisting Russian articles. > Cheers from the sunny South of France, Well, here in Kiev, Ukraine it's a bit rainy today.
