[Sheflug] Linux by Libranet

[Richard <nospam [at] sheflug.co.uk>]

Dear All

Just received a copy of Linux by Libranet from Jon Danzig at Libra
Computers Systems, 1860 Langworthy Street, North Vancouver BC
Canada,   V7K 1N8.

This is based on Debian.  The bits that have been added make for a
clean and smooth installation.  On the back of the jewel CD case it
says.....

Linux by Libranet
The complete Linux desktop

* Based on the award winning Debian GNU/Linux distribution
* Simple installation with step by step instructions
* Supports standard pc hardware
* Automatically configured window managers
* Highly reliable operating system

internet

* Over 1Gb of top rated software installed from the CD
* Look and feel of the various window managers can be changed at will
* True mulit-tasking multi-user environment

* Password protected login and files
* Safely resize a dos/windoze partition to make room for Linux
* Simple internet connection setup
* FREE ONE YEAR support by fast turn round email and fax
* Netscape, Realplayer, Solitaire and many more applications included.

I think the words are ......   "quality distro"  ????

You can get hold of it by going to the Libranet site at......

http://www.libranet.com

Cost is $29.95 buy online or order by post.  That's about £18 to you
or me.  It DOES make Corel Linux look a bit silly :-)

The only thing that I can find wrong with it is that the instructions
that come with the demo version are good but I've only got 11 pages of
paper.  I think the pay for version has a good installation manual.

Thought you might be interested :-)

I'll install this and show it on my demo machine at the next meeting
which will be on the 10th of June.

Thanks
