"Windows was recently launched in Nepali Language and now another operating system gives the users the opportunity to interact with the computer in their mother language, but with a difference because it is free and can be modified to suit your needs.  

We are talking about NepaLinux 1.0 that was launched by Kamal Mani Dixit at the Ashok Party Palace, Patan Dhoka on December 22, Thursday. NepaLinux is a complete Nepali operating system developed and distributed by Madan Puruskar Pustakalaya under the PAN Localization Project with the support of International Development and Research Center (IDRC) of Canada in 3 years.

NepaLinux is a software which has an open source code so that every user is eligible to customize it according to his need and also distribute its copies legally. Other proprietary and closed source software  cannot be edited and distributed without the permission of software vendors. 

The inbuilt Nepali Unicode helps the users to work with most Nepali fonts and also perform sorting and calculations in Nepali itself. NepaLinux has a checker for more than 22,000 widely used Nepali words and a thesaurus for 750 words. According to Laxmi Prasad Khatiwada of MPP, those words were selected by a language standardization committee of about 27 linguists and computer experts. "
