easyLinux
Developed by:
easy Information Technology
Website:
http://www.eit.de/
Description:
Until today Linux had the reputation to be a system which is difficult to install,
without knowledge of Unix an installation was often condemned to fail. A lot of
configurations require the usage of a text editor - in our opinion this is
intolerable for the common user. Other distributions have finally produced useful
scripts and programs which make the installation easier, but generally without a
graphically user interface. We are taking another approach: initially, as with
other operating systems, a VGA X Server is started and the complete installation
is run GUI based, i.e. graphically. Only in rare exceptions will you need a text
based console. We offer three different installation modes.
