While the use of Arabic in Linux is possible, the support in various Linux distributions is not straight forward. This project/document was initiated to advance the Arabic support in Linux by recommending various Arabic supporting software and pushing for Arabic supporting default configurations in Linux distros.
To give credit where it is due, we must thank Nadim Shaikli and Mohammed Elzubeir for their technical support, administrational support and encouragement.
The sources for this document vary from different mailing-lists, personal experiences and feedback from others on what needs to be addressed.
