Pepe, one of our readers, regarding the article on the best Argentine Linux distros, he told us about one that did not appear on the list and that, honestly, I did not know: Kwort. Kwort is a modern, fast and easy-to-use Linux distribution that combine Openbox and other useful tools for a powerful desktop. I recommend that you take a look. |
Key features
- Kwort is based on Slackware, so it is robust, uncluttered and very easy to extend.
- It uses "Openbox", instead of KDE or GNOME, which makes it more lightweight.
- It uses a package manager called "Kpkg", which can help you install or remove programs easily.
- It is a GNU / Linux distribution based on the 'Linux From Scratch' standards. The original idea of the development was to create a 100% GPL system, using only applications that run under console.
- It is intended for advanced / intermediate users.
- To see a complete list of its characteristics, I recommend visiting your page on Distrowatch.
Requirements
- Processor: PC i486 or higher.
- RAM: 16Mb for the base system (minimum). 32Mb for desktop (minimum), 64Mb recommended.
- Disk space: 200Mb for the basic system, 1.8Gb for the desktop system (Openoffice included).
- Recommended Internet connection: for upgrades. Based on Slackware.
Thanks Pepe!
I didn't know it either ... it seems quite interesting! I'm going to take a look at it. Above I liked the little PC it asks for, perfect for one that I have at home 😉
A personal project, not interesting for the public.
