The Italian -it version of the the sidux Operating System manual hits the sidux site with zenren and speedygeo as translators and maintainers !!!!The Italian version of sidux-manuals has been in the works for nearly 14 months. It was started by alessiog75, then dedo picked it up, (unfortunately he could not continue either), followed months later by fortalomo whom has subsequently moved continents. Then along came speedygeo and zenren. zenren really put the foot to the floor in true Italian fashion!

sidux e.V. is pleased to present to you today the first version of sidux-seminarix here for download. This is a educational project that merges Seminarix with the base of sidux. Seminarix is aimed at schooling teachers as well as pupils with free and open software to make computer training in schools less costly and more effective. The project was initiated in March 2007 by Wolf-Dieter Zimmermann, who works in the education of students for a teaching credential. First based upon Kubuntu, sidux e.V. started to port it to sidux with the help of teachers and interested users. With sidux as a powerfull free and open Linux distribution the Seminarix project now has a fast, easy to maintain and always current base.
