we are selecting a set of Chinese software to be included in the G-Linux for educational purposes so schools can enjoy those OpenSource software just like us :).

Criteria to select the software:

1. Can run on Gdium efficiently and most important: Rather fast, smooth, fit in the screen, etc.
2. Useful for students of either Primary or Secondary / High schools in China
3. Have Chinese version
4. The ones without Chinese versions but useful for schools, we will not put in the Gdium before localization is made
