Pinoy Linux - Bayanihan Linux with Bad Image

have you ever heard of "Bayanihan"? as a Filipino its a part of our culture to know or to apply bayanihan in our lives, "Bayanihan" Simply means "Cooperative Endeavor", meaning a Helping hand. or a Team with One Goal,

at DOST(Department of Science and Technology) they have a Project that is called
"Bayanihan Linux" it is a Linux Distribution made by Filipinos for Filipinos,
Bayanihan Linux is Free Operating System for Filipinos, a proud Filipino OpenSource

image from http://www.bayanihan.gov.ph/

it is currently on 5 release, they already have the "Bayanihan 5".

its Goal is to Help the Government, because "Bayanihan Linux" is free,.the Government wont have to spend more on software instead they will use bayanihan linux for thier software needs, or is it?

Government Agencies today still uses Window's Operating System, may it be Vista or XP, may it be Pirated or Licensed.

but one thing's for sure they are not using Bayanihan Linux.

ask why?

for me, bayanihan linux is just a reason of DOST to fund a project or to release a budget,.
bayanihan linux may be in its 5 release but i read some reviews that it is better to Use UBUNTU(ubuntu is a linux release famous to be for free and complete) because Ubuntu is always update to security reasons and software updates than Bayanihan Linux, i red that Bayanihan updates suck than Ubuntu's,.

in terms of acquiring the software, Bayanihan Charges 200 pesos per CD, but in Linux Ubuntu, i ordered last 6 months and i recieved it 2 days after i ordered, and its free of charge from UK, i still have the Mail Envelope which is used to deliver the CD.

so when the Government decides to fund Bayanihan Linux, which is they can already use UBUNTU, thats where corruption comes in,.

for me,

• DOST should not reinvent the wheel but develop the wheel for advance usage.
• DOST should help inventors which have a good ideas, not just make another thing based on something which that something is still better than what we did. we should be original,. its not something we can be proud of. because we just copied and replace the skins, "Bayanihan Linux" should be called a linux distribution but a SKIN or a theme.
