After 3 years of development and testing, the first stable release of Ark Linux -- Ark Linux 2005.1 -- has been released.
The goal of Ark Linux is to build the easiest to use Linux distribution for people converting from That Other Operating System, while keeping it technically sane. Ark Linux 2005.1 is built around the latest desktop technologies, including KDE 3.4, OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 (a preview of 2.0 is also available on the Ark Extra Software CD), glibc 2.3.4, X.Org 6.8.2, and kernel 2.6.11. The base insall CD of Ark Linux contains everything the average desktop user will need - other tools, for example compilers and development tools, additional games and support for additional languages, are available on the extra CD images "Ark Development Suite", "Ark Extra Software", "Ark Server Software" and "Ark Extra Languages", and of course in our large online package repository, easily accessed through the Kynaptic GUI. Experienced users can use the "apt-get" tool to install software from the repository on the command line. Ark Linux 2005.1 can be downloaded from http://www.arklinux.org/ using ftp, http, BitTorrent or EDonkey. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
