Huayra GNU/Linux 3.1 Deskshot

The Huayra 5 “Juana Manso” deskshot:
Huayra GNU/Linux is a GNU operating system distribution tailored for educational purposes in Argentina. Its development was started by the CENITAL (Argentine National Center for Research and Development of Free Technologies) for the 2012 Conectar Igualdad project of the Argentine Government, and now is maintained by Educar Sociedad del Estado.
As such, it includes full localization in Spanish and a complete kit of education applications, several of whom were released by Cenital itself. Cenital got together a great group of educative programmers, who design the Linux distribution.
The Conectar Igualdad technological inclusion project involved providing a portable computer for students. These computers used low-spec Intel Atom microprocessors to provide computing power to 12-inch nationally produced netbooks, 5 millon of such provided for highschool students.
While the portable machines specs has been continuously improved in next computing generations and batches, since the launch of the program in 2011 great care has been taken to provide with a great experience with such low computing power.
The software hearth of Huayra involves a Debian 12 derived-Linux Kernel, a MATE desktop, LibreOffice suite, GIMP and Inkscape graphical apps, several music and sound design programs, video and digital TV experience. All these are freely available. Also provided are serveral local applications (Huayra Motion for stopmotion animation), and many more.
All of the reference material and as many as 12500 highschool educative books and reference materials are already included as PDF documents in the machine hard disk.
All the versions of Huayra GNU/Linux may be found here: https://huayra.educar.gob.ar/
Also, the github projects may be found here:
https://github.com/HuayraLinux
As many other Linux distributions, Huayra (which minds “Wind” in native quechua language) has a “spirit animal”. Vaca Hacker, its Pilot Cow, provides computing knowledge also as a special app.
The newest version its 6.5, but several spin-off has been created, including Huayra Bonaerense (for the Government of the Buenos Aires Province), Huayra Servidor (a server version), Huayra Medios (for cooperative and school FM Radios and Internet broadcasting).
1·1 month agoMost of the time, I would use a Huayra GNU/Linux (a Debian distro for educational purposes), as it was tailored for low spec Atom netbooks in Argentina. There is a specialized AntiX for these machines too, with many games/emulators. A ThinkPad T42 with 2 Gigs should run Huayra 3.2 without any issues.

These fax machines were commonly sold on BR?

Your loop is under control!
DOS disk interface is quite mundante. It was dependant on BIOS recognition, and its not compatible with 32 GB disk at all. An 120MB or 250MB HDD was the usual MS-DOS disk sold during the 6.22 era. The firsts GB disk ware common by 1996. By the way, 2GB is the max recognizable partition size. Use fdisk to create a Master Boot Record, and a 2GB partition, and try it. I tried it with ease with old 1 GB and 512MB Compact Flash cards, but I must say CF has almost direct compatibility with IDE. SD cards require an adapter controller (you seems to have one of those, tho).

That used to be true in my country too. For some bureaucratic issues, fax was legal-binding. For example, for public health/social pharmaceutical deliveries, it acted as a valid receipt, it was “official”. I noted fax used to improve delivery times, reducing errors.
Also there was that psychological effect of paper.
On the Health&Edu sector, most of the secretaries were young girls and they loved to be written something after the official receipt was delivered (the first page in the call). I would write them something as a personal sidenote, and they will do the office work like a charm. Low-rank bureaucrats love to be addressed. These “Social skills” were not used on the official first page of course, but it worked! It saved me lots of headache and phone-drama.
Fax is vintage tech since at least a decade, but it was useful.
My first contact with them was not on a fax machine, but using a Sportster Winmodem/fax. Faxing was possible using a Windows 3.1 computer, using QuickLink II software.
Later on, I got this “marvelous” Panasonic KX-FT38 fax machine, with its markings in Spanish of course. A noble 300dpi device, with 20min digital recorder for voice and data (delayed thermal printing was possible). Also has an automatic cutting blade. 14.4 kilobauds of pure faxing power!
It was so nice I even didn’t care to remove its tacky stickers.
I used it daily. Somewhat people REPLIED to fax transmissions, as it served to speed response time on bureaucratic nonsense. Secretaries did their thing when they got a fax with their names handwritten on them. IDKW but it worked.
