KRUD
KRUD was a Linux Distribution which tracks Red Hat Linux. It was updated every month, and was available by CD and CD Subscription. KRUD was based on a complete Red Hat Linux install with all of the errata and updates included, plus extra packages added in by Kevin of tummy.com. We've been making KRUD since 1999. We do it because it saves us time, and it makes updating our systems easier. We'd like you to try it because it will do the same for you.
