Kiara GNU/Linux is now available for download (I hope)

The first release of Kiara GNU/Linux Unstable, nicknamed Oscar, just became available about five minutes ago. Kiara is a live CD, based on Slax, and completely committed to the preservation of the classic KDE 3 Desktop.

Oscar #00 is not terribly original, but it is pretty awesome, since it combines Slax, the greatest live CD ever, (sue me, Knoppix Fans!) with added packages from Slackware 12.2, including virtually all of the remaining packages from the classic KDE 3.5.10. Some of the added *.lzm packages (called "modules") were taken from Slax.org, but whenever possible, the packages were ported from from the *.tgz packages in Slackware 12.2. The modules on Slax. org come from many contributors, from all over free software, and I hoped that by porting as much as possible from one place, I could create a distro that is comprehensive, stable, and provides disaffected Slackware fans a place where they can feel at home.

Please send comments and bug reports to kiaragnulinux@gmail.com, and let me know if you would like to be on a Kiara mailing list. (If you don't say that you want to be on the list, I won't out you on it.)



Have a lot of fun, and remember: Kiara Is A Recursive Acronym.
