Hi Don & Campers;

With UBUNTU i did use the shipit service, which sends for free any
versions on simple registration and request; I stopped using this
distribution myself a while ago but that's how I used to get under 4/5
weeks up-to-date versions of UBUNTU. I did it twice, it worked trough
customs without questions or fee with a 10 discs order.

https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

In any case, I will try adding a kubuntu/edubuntu download on my list.
openSUSE is on, the default install does propose KH language but
that's probably not the actual KhmerOS version (which am not familiar
with, since I don't speak the language)

With Bart from KhmerOS we though about starting a PPLUG, Phnom Penh
Linux Users Group, but as of now I need to see how OpenSource-Minded
you BarCamp people are, it may just be too much geeks groups.for our
city.

Cheers from rainy belgium.

There has been a Linux User Group in Phnom Penh for quite some time now, see:
