The vast majority of us probably know just a few of the most popular distros: Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, Arch, and a few more. However, there is a wide range of possibilities; distros that have much less press but are not of lower quality for that. In this opportunity, I present to you the best "Argentine distros". |
ututo
UTUTE is a distribution of the GNU operating system, using the Linux-libre kernel. The name refers to a species of lizard (Homonota borelli, Gekkonidae) from the north of Argentina. Ututo was the first distribution to be recognized as totally free by the GNU Project.

music
Musix GNU + Linux is a Linux distribution presented on LiveCD Live-DVD and Live-USB based on Knoppix, Kanotix and Debian. For this reason and to eliminate the proprietary software contained in their mother distributions it is considered a 100% free operating system. It is mainly intended for musicians, artists in general, and was prepared for artistic teaching in classrooms. It is one of the first (and one of the few) Linux distributions recognized as 100% free by the Free Software Foundation.
The initiator of the project and co-director of the same together with the Brazilian Gilberto Gorges at present is the Argentine Marcos Germán Guglielmetti, accompanied by a group of a dozen developers such as the Spanish Daniel Vidal Chornet or José Antonio González García. Musix GNU + Linux is also the result of the collaborative work of a whole community of users and programmers, starting in Argentina but managing to bring together an international group made up of Brazilians, Spanish, Uruguayans, Americans, Mexicans, Costa Ricans, etc.

dragora
Dragora is a GNU / Linux distribution focused on freedom, language (Spanish), stability and security. It has the peculiarity of having been developed in Argentina without being based on any other previous distribution, with some characteristics similar to Slackware. Dragora is one of the distributions recommended by the Free Software Foundation, Ya que it is 100% free software. It is compiled for the i686 architecture, which gives it a great adaptation between processors, thus ensuring the correct operation in different architectures.
Dragora's philosophy
KISS philosophy: The KISS principle is an acronym that corresponds to the phrase in English: "Keep It Short and Simple". It is the traditional Unix philosophy to keep things simple.
YAGNI philosophy: YAGNI is an acronym that corresponds to the phrase in English: "You Ain't Gonna Need It". It is a Software development philosophy that consists of NOT adding functionality unless necessary.
DRY philosophy: DRY is an acronym that corresponds to the phrase in English: "Do not repeat yourself" (Don't Repeat Yourself). It is a software development philosophy that promotes that the pieces of information are NOT duplicated. Probably the least used concept by the project, but one that is taken into account.

Sirius OS
Sirius OS It is a project that seeks to create a very stable Gnu / Linux operating system. It is based on a micronucleus system (in charge of enabling the basic services of a kernel) and on it a derivative of a monolithic kernel, which is not considered as such due to its execution in "server" mode, always respecting the POSIX standard.
Sirius OS is a totally open and free project, maintained and updated by the community, thanks to the effort and time of many users. Anyone can collaborate, either in the development part, design, or simply collaborating with opinions or ideas.
It is a distribution that is based on GNOME, with its own modifications in the kernel and that will soon be available for download; unfortunately due to host problems, we still can't download it; but it will be as appropriate.

Shame is not knowing the history of the working class of your country: no one is truly free if they are not willing to help the liberation of others. We all have the opportunity to express ourselves, always with respect. That's why I feel comfortable visiting this blog, and recommending ER, as it is a quality distro; even positively reviewed by Distrowatch. It is the only thing I am going to say on the subject. Best regards to all.
Haha. These left-handers are incredible, well, dear Chango, there is an Argentine majority that does not adhere to your dreams of a communist narco-villera dictatorship, what are you going to do, the flag of Argentina is light blue and white, not a red cloth. Apart from this, I was curious about this pro terrorist distro, we must admit that they are original, who would have thought of it?
Anonimous, like Carlos26, they have no idea what they are talking about, it is a distribution and according to Chango it works well, as for the communist narco villera, the truth hurts me, and poor your family if they think and they are people without education that does not know how to differentiate one thing from the other and pays attention to what happens on CNN. Cheers
Sorry, but if you don't know history, don't talk, I'm tired of people who don't open a book and start commenting on a subject that doesn't have the slightest idea. And if you are ashamed of being Argentine, you can go where you already know, around the United States to discriminate against you and realize that you live in a cloud of fart. It is a distribution only, if you don't like the wallpaper and the icons you can change it, in case you don't know yet.
If you didn't try it, don't talk and go live in the USA if you don't like it ... facho ...
I didn't know any of them, so maybe I'll try some.
Good job with your blog!
And why is Red Star not in this range?
I miss you Tango GNU / Linux: http://www.tangolinux.com.ar/
I also add Tango GNU / Linux: http://www.tangolinux.com.ar/
You leave kwort that is also Argentine.
Great Eärendil, this post will serve to recognize the work of Argentine distros that have nothing to envy other projects in the world. On the other hand, I wanted to point out another distro, it is not Argentine, but it greatly facilitates the task for those who wanted to use Slackware and found it difficult either by myth or truth. It is called Salix OS, "the bonsai system", and it is oriented to the desktop (very light thanks to its Xfce and LXDE versions), both for professional and home use (but also works perfectly on laptops).
http://www.salixos.org/wiki/index.php/Home
Hopefully you find it interesting to add to your slackware-derived Distros section. Regards.
Oops, I forgot to tell you that Salix OS is very well translated into Spanish, and supports many Spanish-speaking countries, greetings.
Thank you very much Chango for sharing this info! I will take it into account for a future post.
Hug! Paul.
I want to add Huayra, it seems to be a new project and that is why it is not here, but it is also Argentine.
http://huayra.conectarigualdad.gob.ar/
Thanks for the input!
For those interested in Huayra, I recommend reading our review on this distro: http://usemoslinux.blogspot.com/2012/12/probamos-huayra-linux-la-distro-del.html
It is what makes extremism sick, what the hell does the photo of Che Guevara do, a murderer who is only well seen in Argentina and Cuba and a few hung "rockers" who don't understand a damn what the communist dictatorship was and still is . It's totally ridiculous. I support the freedom to express yourself but this kind of thing makes me extremely ashamed of being Argentine.
Hi Eärendil, don't forget Red Star GNU / Linux, a very complete and fast Debian Lenny based distro:

Too bad Tuquito is stained with the name of Mauro Torres, one of the people who had a phishing site on his server where Tuquito was hosting. A shame

Missing Puppy-es OS
http://puppyes.com.ar/foros/topic/videos-del-plan-conectar/
I always see the same comments, and although I don't usually pay attention, today I'm going to give my opinion. We Argentines believe that we are the best in everything, we live in a cloud of erroneous beliefs, which does not dissipate until we leave the country. I'm not talking about leaving Argentina, I'm talking about leaving the American continent. Australia, New Zealand, Asia. Believe me, we are not the best, there are people much more innovative than us, but they will not see it until they leave the continent. It is also true that we have developed very good things that are highly recognized in many places. But we will continue in the stupidity of memory, living in the past and reproaching the military for the dictatorship, the left-handers for the attacks. As long as they continue stealing, and "the outsiders will eat us." It is understood?
By the way Debian, which talks about the fact that there are people who will never "open" a book, "savías" is written with B for a donkey, many books can be opened, but among them they have to "see" a dictionary.
How ugly is Cyberlinux xD
How difficult it is to download the iso image because it comes out of 32 bits I think, since under 64 my Windows 7 is 64 bits and it took almost two weeks to have if I am able to install Linux, the most difficult thing is the jodia iso image and then how to open it with winrar and copy it to DVD or flas thanks to whoever reads me and answers me I am more than a novice, new to Linux
Huayra 2.0 is the new version is hitting very hard with a lot of acceptance by new users.
Comrades here I bring you the red star, thanks to the contribution of mamalibre
Download it from your page: http://estrellaroja.mamalibre.com.ar/
I am currently using Windows 7. I should have formatted but my notebook did not have the original software and I was installed one that was not and I do not like how it works. One of my sons advised me on Linux. I have little or no understanding of the subject and would like advice on which one is best for me. The machine is for personal use at home. I also need an equivalent to the Office package since I use some programs such as Word, Excel, Power Point.
I appreciate your response.
Suzanne,
Alternatives for micro $ soft office are libreoffice (you can try it on any system including guindou $) and openoffice among the highlighted ones, but there is more; they both have power point. Foxit pdf reader would be the alternative (and for me it is even better and I use it) for pdf. If it is for that type of use along with surfing the internet and some other little thing, you have endless distributions available to venture. I am testing the trisquel 7.0 distro that has livecd mode (you can use it by starting it in the pc boot without installing anything with a dvd with the image inside or a usb), if you take the video card and input wifi no longer you have to configure nothing and it comes with libreoffice installed, among other things (web browser, video player, gnash, etc). Good luck and I hope this info will help you.
Again I write to comment that my notebook is 32 b. Maybe it is important.
Thank you
Good afternoon people !!! I write because I want to start using Linux with my desktop computer and I have no idea which one I could start with. Which one do you recommend? How do I get it? I would appreciate any help, thank you very much.
The publication is very interesting for me, it is always good to know a little more thanks.
Amm .. if one more thing, in my opinion you needed the Huayra GNU / Linux distribution 100% Argentine and very good. greetings to everyone
Thanks wolf! This post came out well before Huayra, that's why we didn't put it… anyway, we did publish some posts about the distro.
Hug! Paul.
It is a great Linux distribution made by people born in Tucuman like me. thank you and this is one more flavor of linux that I also use. is great and all ... work
if they use tuquito, it is the best because it has the flavor of tucuman and armed in Argentina but, they can use any distros, because they are all good and free and all thanks linus and stallman !!
