DistroWatch.com: Nova

Nova

Last Update: Wednesday 16 December 2009 20:44 GMT




Nova is a user-friendly, desktop-oriented Linux distribution developed by the University of Computer Sciences in Havana, Cuba. It is based on Gentoo Linux, but it also incorporates various technologies from other Gentoo-based distributions, such as Sabayon Linux (binary package management) and Ututo. Among the most interesting features of the distribution are a comprehensive administration tool (Panel o Centro de Control de Nova), a graphical package management tool (Summon), a simple graphical installer (Serere), a tool for integrating Microsoft Active Directory (Ecumenix) and a utility for sharing files and resources via Samba (Capoeira).

Table Notes and Explanations
  • Select view: Major packages only (52) All tracked packages (206)
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the 'libgnome' and 'nautilus' packages. As per the Apache project's recommendations, apache 1.3.x is referred to as "apache", while apache 2.x is referred to as "httpd".
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.
