Yes, it must do.
I have already created Fedora based LiveCD and it containing Sinhala and
Tamil support as well.
And it's booting to Sinhala GUI with out username/passwd.
I gave a copy to the AGS academy last time.
Btw, I think Fedora 9 is much better than Ubuntu. ;-)
If we consider Sinhala support Fedora is the best solution for our
community.
But I don't want to push my work by force. ;-)
**
We can't move with lot off applications, if we use OO.org,
but abiword is not a good replacement for Sinhala users.
And I removed all games as well.
