| aptosid, formerly known as sidux, is a distribution of the GNU / Linux operating system based on the "unstable" branch of Debian, called Sid. It consists of a live-CD (bootable CD-ROM) for the i686 and AMD64 architectures and can be installed on the hard drive using a graphical installer. In addition to the full version, which includes all components, there is a "light" version with a smaller selection of packages. The default desktop environment for aptosid is KDE. |
Aptosid stands out for its ability to detect new hardware and in system speed. The distribution is fully compatible with the unstable "Sid" branch of Debian so that it has all the packages from its repositories. The aptosid releases contain only free software as defined by the DFSG. To help approve compliance with the GPL license, a monolithic tarball provides the containing of the sources of all the packages of programs used in the release together with the image, in ISO format, inside the live-CD.
It also provides various applications, scripts and meta-packages to install the software from the repositories and facilitate the availability of other non-free software packages; it is completely administrable from the control center called siduxcc. The live-CD version has English and German versions of the software, while the DVD contains the rest of the supported languages.
Access to non-free software, such as codecs, plug-ins, and firmwares is done by adding the Debian GNU / Linux contrib and non-free repositories and aptosid in the /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Due to the evolutionary nature of the Debian "unstable" branch, aptosid releases do not allow an upgrade from previous versions of the distribution. Rather, once aptosid is installed, incremental updates are performed by the "dist-upgrade" command.
Finally, it should be noted that aptosid has an Operations Manual. It is an essential reference for initial learning and to refresh knowledge of the aptosid operating system, not only the basic ones, since it includes many complex tasks that will help you become a better system administrator.
I just migrated to sabayon, and it goes like a shot I recommend a test and an article.
Lower the dayly build otherwise you will be updating for a long time, do not try to keep the previous user, make a new one, Chrome is not there, although it does chromium and it operates. The Internet is even faster than in Ubuntu, or I have had that luck these days The versions of the programs, being a rolling release are up to date, once you finish setting it to your liking, you can make a backup from the Sulfur installer itself .
