Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre


Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre is a discontinued Argentine Linux distribution written from scratch sharing some similarities with Slackware. It has a simple packaging system that allows installing, removing, upgrading, and creating packages, although the system may be challenging to new users. As it only packages free software and uses the Linux-libre kernel, the Free Software Foundation endorses Dragora. Dragora is considered to be based on the "Keep it simple, stupid" (KISS) principle, believed by the authors to be a strength. In the past, Dragora could be downloaded from its website or purchased on CD
Dragora uses the SysV init system as of 3.0 Beta 2.
