'gnuLinEx'Editorial by 0 - June 20, 2006
What is it?
An Operating System that can be set up in a computer or live together with proprietary systems such as WindowsR. It is based on Debian and Xorg.
gnuLinEx is based on GNU/Debian, a Linux distribution that, thanks to its design, makes it easy to create other distributions that can inherit its advantages and get rid of some of its faults (for example, the difficulty of setup and configuration).
The Debian distribution has the best software packing system in the world. Installing gnuLinEx is really easy; actually, it is easier than doing it so for other OSes. With a simple command, software can be set up and even the whole system can be updated. Different packages can be set up from different origins: CD-Roms, disks, remote FTP sites or HTTP of the Internet, etc.
Moreover, when it comes to the integration of all the packages, Debian beats all the other distributions. Since the software is packed into coherent groups, not only all the packages can be found in the same place, but also, all the problems of complex dependencies have been solved.
By using a modified Debian distribution, the Extremadura Regional Government has benefited from the fact that there is a large amount of varied software for it. As a matter of fact, there are more than 9000 different software pieces. The stability, speed and security of Debian should also be underlined.
When it was created, gnuLinEx was based on the then latest stable Debian distribution: 2.2 or Potato. Nowadays, the version based on the new stable Debian version (Sarge) is available, along with revisions or updates.
