chris:b Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Yes, I installed Aurox 9.1 - Comments --hmm. Aurox (not the Live CD) is available in Polish, Spanish, French, German (and more?, but no English release). 4 releases in a year, you can buy it where you buy your magazin. 7 cd's, and a magazin: how to install, first steps with linux etc. Costs: 10,50 Euro (12 US $ ??). Based on RedHat, Aurox comes with a lot of additional software: Nvidia driver, Java, DVD - Mplayer, xmms -MP3, a wide range of educational software, astronomy, maths, kids software. Improved internationalization. Apt and synaptic. Free download, but no fast download mirror, no contrib-packages, a very small community. It installs as smooth as RedHat. The big problem: not 100% compatible with RedHat. You have to try which Fedora or freshrpms will work - or compile your favourite progs on your own, if they are not part of Aurox. Compared to Mandrake 9.1 with all urpmi sources, the community etc.: Mandrake is way better. My very personal impression - and I don't run a server which might be a point for Aurox, I don't know.
