It ruined my GRUB.
I know the way about it.
No AbiWord by default.
It has almost everything including Blender but cannot add amything new.
Yes, it is well knit but closed society.
No FLATpak for Russia.
It looks like it has two versions.
Simple Common Version for the public and Special Commercial Version which has FLATpak.
This commercial version is news to me.
What can I say, when somthing simple as Variety Wallpaper can snooze on you, Russians have adopt safety stamdsrds.
Unable to configure Synaptic Package Manager out of Russian Debian Repository.
I would try configuring it to Australia ( musy be blocked by default) when I get my GRUB back to normal.
I did not try it after coming to Australia fearing that I would be sent back to Ceylon. Afterall Linux is global so wny fear a Russian Distribution.
Unlike in the past I did not have to presd F2 key to get English.
It is all new Debian based and pretty easy.
However, I prepared the Partitions before instaltion since using Russian method may harm my Partition Table.
I was short on partitions because I have reserved few partions for NTFS3.
Only /var is missing.
It automatically detected SWAP.
Installation is fairly brisk compared to my previous encounters.
It's selection of Graphic CODE for the integrated Graphic Card is admirable.
1486 files for its Fly Desktop.
Now I remember Rassians has its own Window Manager called Fly.
Thank YOU, Star Linux.
Well I made big mistake of using Terminal for Installation without realizing it.
With few key stroke and careful look at the boot menu solved the problem.
I have no patience for a graphic installer and getting to Russian Repository would have been dicey.
If it breaks I am stuck.
Applications are basic and limited.
I gave 25GB for /root partition.
I have to give Moscow or Kelingrad as the location and change to Australia after installation.
No libe UPDATE as in Debian.
They also have a distribution called Desert and I would report on it later.
Iso image is 5.6GB.
X Server is well and truly intact.
I think Fly is based on XFCE.
I hope it would give me a beautiful boot up Plymouth.
I have no hesitation to recommend this distribution to our African friends.
I hope VLC and Audacity is in the media bundle.
Browser is Yandex and not Firefox.
It got Firefox and Yandex is probably for the Chinese.
LibreOffice is there by default.
I did not time the installation and is probably over 30 minutes.
That gave me time to finger type this blog piece with help of Google.
Thank YOU again Star Linux.
It is detecting NTP.
There is Astra extra postinstallation configuration.
