HellasProject.com X
Our own Linux distro
version 1.0.2**

I had been using Linux/Unix beside Apple’s Mac OS — Ubuntu even ran on a Mac mini next to Leopard Server, until the logic board died. I had translated for Knoppel.org and similar work since 2000.

Then I found a way to ship a distro as CD, disk/USB image, and virtual appliance. Why not one for this site?

HellasProject.com X is an OpenSUSE-based Linux distro.
