Austrumi booted straight to Latvian language, which could be confusing. To change it to English, simply click on the Setting menu (gear icon) from the application menu, and choose Voladyus (flag icon), which will spawn the language chooser. Then, select English. |

Austrumi (Austrum Latvijas Linukss) is a bootable live CD Linux distribution based on Slackware. It was created and is actively maintained by a group from the Latgale region of Latvia. The entire operating system and all the applications run from RAM,[1] making Austrumi faster than larger distributions that must read from a disk, and allowing the boot medium to be removed after the operating system has booted.
