Linguas OS | Linux for Translators

The owners and developers of this website would like to stress that we are absolutely NOT the copyright holders of any original work done by Tony Baldwin (et al) and presented on this site, mainly for the convenience of any visitors who have yet to update old links or bookmarks.

Linguas OS is a project developed by Tony Baldwin as a demo for a translators conference. The goal was to adapt a Linux operating system distribution (based on PCFluxboxOS) with tools and apps specifically chosen to assist translators.

• The most recent release (1.1) of Linguas OS was in January of 2008, and the author has stated that this project is no longer in development.

• The Linguas OS Yahoo Group still exists, but the last (relevant) message was posted in October of 2009 by Mr. Baldwin himself, explaining that the project had “fizzled to a halt last year”.

• The Linux for Translators Yahoo Group is still going strong, however, so LinguasOS users may find support there. In case you didn’t already know, Yahoo Groups sometimes requires a (free) membership to view posts, depending on how the specific group is set up.

We’re happy to keep this reference page up for the time being, but we’re concerned mainly with the online casino, USA and elsewhere, so sooner or later these pages will be full of information (and yes, advertisements!) about online gambling. If that’s a subject in which you are interested, feel free to take a look around!

Online gambling, as you may know, has come a long way in a relatively short time. Up until the turn of the century, players interested in playing online slots or otherwise pursuing their gambling pastime online had few choices — and those few were almost exclusively crude and unsafe, especially by today’s standards.

Luckily, ten years of technological sophistication and experience, as well as a paradigm shift in the attitudes and ‘net savvy of the general population, made a world of difference. On the following pages, we’ll let you in on some of the exciting developments in the online gambling world.
