That is does.

We do not have the page[s] for developers and hackers, like the German 
DVD had when we started this NA project.  Thought that it would confuse 
the "normal" user and for those who would want that info, the files on 
the DVD would be way out-of-date withing a week of our reediting of the 
DVD file contents for that section.

Windows, Linux [.deb, .rpm], MacOSX [Intel, PPC], plus the Windows 
portable version.
That is what is on the main DVD.

Plus, except for Windows, there are only a few language files other than 
English.  It would be too much to have all 113 languages on one DVD.  We 
do English, Spanish, French, and a few more [mostly nitch ones].

As for Android and the other ports, I have not really heard much about 
those, but hope they will come with the popularity of the iPad style of 
systems.  Now you have system that use your HDTV for web browsing and 
social network work.  Could you next do office suite work as well?
