The aim of this experimental Linux distribution is to provide to the student population at large an operating system that is easy to install and use and provides an alternative to the traditional commercial operating systems. CollegeLinux is a Slackware derived Linux (2.4.23) distribution on a single CD that weighs in at 600 MB.

Many thanks for your kind comments. Sorry if you had the impression that I was too aggresive. I would do it again thou.
I apologized when it was the case, the astute readers got my point.
"And you ought to read how Kevin Carmony(CEO of Lindows)"
What ?
Erm... That's really weird.
For the sake of transparency Eugenia had the duty to point this out and or secify Kevin's current position
in the review.
This is really disturbing. What about having Bill Gates reviewing Mac Os X ?
" Kevin Carmony always replies in a very professional manner."
Granted, he is certainly more diplomatic then me. BUT, am using my own "free" time to reply, update packages, code. Not just me, but everyone at CL is doing is best to provide a free and stable distribution.
His position is totally different. Lindows is a for profit corporation. Lindows is not available for a free ISO download yet they are using volunteers-based work like apt-get.
CL is not perfect yet we posted 2 bug fixes in few days with the help of the community and OpenOffice.
We didn't charge for the fix and we do not impose any sort of repository access fee.
Oh yes, one more thing. We don't hide the fact that we are a Linux distribution.
Thanks again for trying out CollegeLinux. All the best.
