SYS Linux Distribution The SYS distro exists already some years without big changes besides of updates All Linuxdistros have their short wiki page Like on them on the page for SYS was tried to explain within an article of 1 2 print pages the most important characteristics of the distro specially what distinguishes this distro from other distros in a positive sense as required from the wiki politics and discused with or even suggested by earlier reviewers of the wiki page Thus to my opinion it shouldn t changed too much and not removed important characteristics Last time was removed f ex these characteristics 1 Fully automated installation 10 30 minutes typically quick and simple for new users 2 Reliable fast mirrors 3 A non commercial free distro independent of commercial or other short term politics An important source is the program s project page at Softpedia and at Linuxquestions org There are given extended informations They were readed by thousands of persons and also made thousands of downloads see p ex the download counter at softpedia and when there would be wrong descriptions about the distro then users would have left a comment reclamation or bad votation The wiki page contains only a very compacted explanation of these details To 1 It s one of the most important characteristics and origin of the SYS distro for make it most easy for beginners that the installation is full AUTOMATICALLY This is short explained with a few words and this proportionally reasonably short in the wiki page and more detailed in the sources just explained How I could explain this important and unique characteristics of the distro more short Also interested people can simply try it out download the install iso from the quoted mirrors and install it from a DVD or USB key To 3 There are some comercial and many no comercial distros so that in the wiki page according to the wiki guides how to obtain it it s given the information that it s gratis and downloadable from the mirrors Also what s important for the reliability over long time is given theinformation that SYS will not dependon short term profit orprofit deception Also this is more detailed explained in the quoted sources And can be verified imediately clicking the link to themirrors where everything is gratis downloadable and notpresent any comercial or limited version To 2 The most important mirrors are given in he wikipage itself One can see directly that this are mirrors kept at university institutes which keep a certain standard and at least some of them check out the distros stocked there This is an opposite to distros which are stocked only on 1 or 2 mirrors like f ex paldo goblinx which seems to have no working mirror anymore and many other distros There were even canceled some SYS mirrors which stopped to work good To my opinion can be improved the english of the article but I think the contens is already so short that almost nothing can be make shorter without to miss any minimum contens rule of wiki for linux distros It should be observed that similar informations give also the other distros Also should be observed that SYS is not one of these minimum distros in opposite it s a big distro with many thousands of own packages and probeably one of the fastest to compile and provide new linux kernel tgz packages whilst a big part of other distros nor provide own kernel packages at all but take them from others like Debian RedHat etc Also SYS brings already appr 18 GB programs lzma highly compacted on the install DVD what installs this huge system between 10 to 40 min Therefore I think the wiki page is reasonable short about all relevantaspects of the distro There is a war between distrowatch anda very few numbers of other info pages which don t want to report about SYS In revange in SYS in etc host are blocked these web pages and the user is conducted to SYS friendly concurrence of them Also for users in France the installation stops because of the open source enemy french law shall theyspend their money to M This are also special characteristis mentioned only very abreviated in the SYS wiki page wl
