About ROOT Linux
|
ROOT Linux is an advanced GNU/Linux system. It is licensed under the GNU GPL - it's 100% free and non-commercial. ROOT Linux is not recommended as a first Linux distribution. You must have experience of Linux and computers in general. Of course, you may use it anyway, but don't complain. ROOT Linux does not contain help programs like linuxconf, sndconfig, netconfig and things like that. People using ROOT Linux should know how to configure their software & hardware without using that kind of tools. ROOT Linux is Pentium optimized. This means it won't work on older processors than Pentiums (Intel 586's).

ROOT Linux 1.3 ISO Image |
|
Just a quick note to say that the recently released ROOT Linux 1.3 is now also available in the form of an ISO image - get it here: rootlinux-1.3.iso (579MB) or from one of the download mirrors. Apart from information found on the distribution's home page, check out this brief interview with John Eriksson, the creator of ROOT Linux, published by OSNews in October 2001: "Many people seem to think that Root Linux is a copy of Slackware, but that's all wrong. It was based on Slackware when I started developing it. Now there's not a single package from Slackware left."
