Yes, I’m planning to get the tutorials I made in Catalan and translate them to English so they’ll be accessible for everyone (english speakers at least). They are good tutorials so I bet that someone will use them. I have a Ubuntu Installation one for completely newbies, how to link ed2k links with amule in firefox/iceweasel, the ultimate guide to install qemu with kqemu, and some more…
I promise you’ll have them

Hello to everyone!
I’m now introducing a project I’ve started with a friend in order to participate at a free software contest here in Spain (for further information, click on the white add on the right).
Mandarina pretends to be a system for installing Free Software applications on Microsoft Windows platforms. It’s something like the apt-get or aptitude from Debian, or Ubuntu, or emerge from Gentoo.
Some of you could be asking: “Why on Windows? We already have apt-get/aptitude/emerge/etc. on our GNU/Linux OS’s!”. The answer is really easy. Some of us have to work on Microsoft Windows platforms sometimes, when there’s no other way. So, we all would like Windows to be as comfortable as possible when we use it. So we want to finish with the annoying task of installing windows applications: Search for it, download, execute installer, next, next, next, next, are you sure?, next, next and finish.
And moreover, we intend to spread the Free Software world to those people that don’t know the existence of this movement. They will have accesible and useful applications as well as good documentations and all the benefits that provides Free Software, and they’ll be able to use and install them freely. That means no cracks, no viruses, no antispyware that installs you spyware, etc.
Mandarina project also can be used on ReactOS to improve it and give it more flexibility.
We think that this project can be useful for everyone, will you try it?
If you want further information about Mandarina project, go to the official development blog at:

Let me warn you, the blog is completely edited in spanish because it’s for a spanish contest. Don’t get mad, you can also use a translating tool or something similar if you are interested.
Well, see you all soon around here!
