Gnoware information page:

Gnoware is a part of the Gnowledge project... Good thing about this distro is that it contains 100% Free Software and no proprietary programs are there....

There is a download link for Gnoware somewhere... but i dunno where... just wait for a couple of days, and i'll find out....

So far it is the most installed distro. But I think other distros are catching up very fast. In PCQ poll so many people wanted Debian that this time they have given Debian on a bootable DVD!

Debian ans FreeBSD rocks.
Also Digit should give some 'interesting' distroes like aLinux,Movix2,Nitix etc.

Debian is very good, and there are lotza kewl software, but what I dont like is that their packageing system i.e .dep, coz cannot share with other packages, for eg i can use some SuSe .rpm with fedora and works fine.

The packages CD is required to set up the X server and the windows manager like kde gnome etc. Alternativly a good internet connection is needed to emerge the required packages.
