openmamba GNU/Linux is a distribution for personal computers (Intel i686-compatible) that can be used on notebooks, desktops and servers. It works as an installable live CD, offering out-of-the box support for proprietary graphics drivers and wireless network cards, a variety of media codecs and 3D desktop with KDE. The distribution, which has roots in the discontinued QiLinux project, uses APT for RPM and Synaptic as its package management tools.
To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
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 "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
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.
Give it 9 out of 10. Loads from disc, no way to boot this operating system from USB memory card device stick, screen turns black, then goes back to windows boot menu. Tested this on older computer machinery, it only seems to work on legacy hardware. Great if' you have older hardware that can not load windows anymore or refuses to load windows at all properly with all the drivers, xp, 2000, me, nt, 982nd edition. *Needs* to boot from burnt dvd-r though. Some odd reason just gives black screen of death on USB memory card device stick. Modern computer hardware dose not use fat-16-bridges no more, if' that what this project is going for it limited to legacy hardware only. That dose not mean it is bad though, still useful in one way or another which can be good thing as there is not many linux projects left making operating systems for older technologies no more, which is quite sad to be frank. Many computer users out there that refuse to modernize to more new technologies, even gamers, and collectors of relic technologies.
