| About Xfld |
| Xfld provides an alternative operating system for common i386 machines which are able to boot from CD-ROM. Xfld provides approximately 2GB of (transparently compressed) software. Among those you can find tools like the GIMP, OpenOffice.org, which is partly compatible with MS Office, Mozilla for browsing the web, Apache web-server, and many more. Xfld features Xfce as its default desktop environment and therefore enables the user to test-drive this extensive and fancy desktop enviroment at will. |
