    nice distro Hanny. i tray to download it right now.

    i have some request for you, and i think it will useful for muslims user, to add Al-Maktabah As-Syamilah - المكتبة الشاملة (http://shamela.ws) - to Helal Linux trough Wine. or a simple tutorial how to instal it into Helal Linux.

    this would be appreciate.

    أرجو أن تهتم بهذا الطلب ولك الشكر والتقدير . أنا حاولت وبذلت جهدى لتثبيت المكتبة الشاملة ولكم wine لم يدعم اللغة العربية جيدا

    وكما عرفنا أن البرنامج العربية الموجودة اكثرها لتوزيعة وندوز ولم يدعم لتوزيعة لينكس

    أنا استخدمت المكتبة القرطاس لها ولصانعها الشكر والتقدير ولكن لم يكن كما أرجو من بساطة التثبيت والاستخدام

    أنا اتصلت بموقع المكتبة الشاملة سائلا أن ينشأ المكتبة الشاملة لتوزيعة لينكس . قالوا إنشاء الله ولكن مرت سنة ولم يكن هناك ما أرجو . أنا فهمت اعتذارهم بأن صناعة البرنامج بلغة برمجية أخرى ليست أمر هين ولا سهل

    ومنك أطلب المساعدة وجزاك الله خيرا كثيرا

    أخوكم

      Welcome my brother :)
      you can read Al-Maktabah As-Syamilah books using Calibre, because Al-Maktabah As-Syamilah provides the books in .ePUB format, and Calibre can read this format, you can download the books in .ePUB from here:

  2. the other request is:
    how to add Cinnamon to Helal Linux or can it be the default beside Gnome Classic, Gnome 3 and Unity?


    Thanks a lot

    I couldn't imagine that you was a young boy but can make a big work. you was one of a tiny creative minority. I guess Steve Job was a Syrian too. hope you can make big project like him too, but in Open Source Software area.

    I've visited Helal Linux since the Helal 3, and save it screenshots to my computer but never try it before. i'm Sabily Badr user since Ubuntu Muslim Edition 8.10, but today it's discontinued, and i use Linux Mint 14 too. today i wanna know Helal linux taste and spice.

    nice to know you my brother. visit my blog but it with Indonesia Language. i speak Arabic too, but to write English Language is fast than Arabic.

    best regard

  3. The Linux software package contains a sizable amount of distributions obtainable, most at no cost, to the common user. Distributions dissent in size, memory necessities, and kinds of computer code enclosed. Visit Here
