Russian Linux Distributions, Astra Linux, Rosa Fresh and Rantu
Since the West is deliberately misguiding and discriminating Russia I have decided to take a diplomatic stand and promote Russian Linux distributions.
Astra Linux developed by the Russian Army is a pretty good distribution.
I had this distribution in my very old laptop and by trying to update I it erased the entire Hard disk of 120GB.
I cannot boot it from a USB (Microsoft Guys have a CODE installed in the hardware which I did not know).
However, it can be booted by a CD/DVD and I did not bring the DVD of Astra Linux.
I used BSD and erased Microsoft Code.
I am going back to Ceylon and remedy this situation soon.
Both Rantu and Rosa Fresh have a very few peers in torrent.
I never try Point to point downloads, now.
Unlike Astra Linux ALT Linux was a large civilian project.
It has a server edition and thankfully new image is available to test.
Russian Linux distributions are stable and generally two years behind the upmarket distributions which Linux is.
They support a distribution for 4 years and like me their cycles are of 5 years duration.
I have five year political cycles (this time I am silent, because I am pretty sure of the outcome, total instability) and ruthless on the current CORRUPT Regime unlike an average Ceylonese who become vociferous after the election result is declared.
One can never find a guy or girl who voted for the opposition.
That is the malady of Ceylon for 70 years.
This time I am not there to vote but send one of my agents to see my election rights are NOT Violated in my absence.
No update for ROSA from 2020.
ROSA Fresh take one hour to download and ALT takes at least 4 hours.
It is some time before me reporting.
ALT of course which I tested two years ago has a sleek Mate desktop. Its image is 7.3GB and it might take another 4 hours to download.
I believe it is not live but padded with all Russian Software.
ROSA Flesh is pretty good KDE desktop.
It has all the things available in a KDE desktop.
Calculate Linux
I did not say anything about Calculate Linux which comes from Arch Gentoo base.
I am writing it image on a USB Stick.
It is only 3GB Iso.
It has a lighter 1.8GB server version,too.
It is almost finished.
It is a sleek Mate desktop.
In can be run in a live session.
One need to have partitioned defined before installation.
Gparted is there for partitioning.
No update from 2022.
It took nearly 4 hours to download 7.3GB with only one peer.
I hope at least a few more Russians guys use it instead of Astra Linux which is almost official Linux distribution.
Afterall, it is a Russian product.
It is only in Russian with some Dulingo application helping English translation.
The alphabet is completely different and my NUC does not have audio port. I have to use my cellphone to learn Russian along with this distribution running live.
