A Malaysian Linux Distro
simpleLinux developers always gives a tonne of hopes that simpleLinux would one day become widely known and widely used. We are one of the Malaysian linux distro which is still strong and actively distributing. Nevertheless, simpleLinux tends to be one of the most proud Malaysian-based linux distribution.

Together with the unbelievable support as well as a tonne of help from the open source community makes we put the best foot forward. We arise when we fall, and being forth when we are left behind! It's been 6 years we are struggling but, what we are struggling for has gained a momentum from the community to be on the top. simpleLinux GNU/Linux should join the insanity of the technology to become the best of the best. Maybe simpleLinux attained as the most reliable mobile operating system, or versatile tablet operating system etc. Who knows that, simpleLinux might be used widely with a great support of cross-platform applications.

The more the social activity, the more the fun! Developers and contibutors are always wanted in simpleLinux developments. Together let's bring the fun in computing by learning new things, helping each other, and the more important thing is, to make something beautiful and eye-candy.

Nice O.O

But why is the size are relatively small ?

The LZMA technology la... It have a very high compression rate

Size is important. Will get less attention if the size is so big for a small try. in simpleLinux, usage and functionality is bigger than it's size.. this is what unique about simpleLinux..

simpleLinux Mini Alpha 1 90MB, simpleLinux Codename Ginkgo 123MB, simpleLinux Codename Ginkgo Install to HD/USB 256MB, simpleLinux Codename Felix101 297 MB, simpleLinux EXT3/2/1 300MB, simpleLinux X pre-release 1 600MB, simpleLinux Codename Acantha [ultimate] 700 MB...

give a try

it seems like farizluqman kinda backbone for this OS developement..good job bro..
this OS is in malay or english?

Mmmm... ext4 yet or still ext3?

via post right? great... I have 200 blank cdr, so how about it's casing and cd skin?

Well , casings and cd skins are totally out of budget , but im gonna print A4 poster for Ubuntu XD

ext4 just finished upload now.... wait a few hours for it to be appear [we should try it 600% to make sure it is really working. need to redownload it before available to the world]


I'm not the creator of simpleLinux, the original creator is from Malaysia to but left the development without any sign. during the moment, there is NOTHING big deal about us. until one day it hit the wall of distrowatch and we began to work hard. till now.... so, I'm a backbone of sL

Just out of curiousity, what is your main claim? Every distro has got to have some sort of claim to fame. Ubuntu is famous for bringing linux to the desktop. BSD-s are supposedly the most secure out of the box.

Also, can simple linux run as a frontend for MythTV?

so, we are very special in the size over the functionalities. A worth DVD-size in just Mini-CD size...

we claimed to be "the distro that suit enough user's needs" with just "a simple size". easy, plug your USB and run.

i'm guessing stuffs from slackware would work well here

i'll grab one for testing



off topic:

thx to muyyaqdhom for mentioning this in another post.

Post Laju expensive rite O.O

don't know, never send things over Poslaju, but twice send a mail.... it should be 50+ cents for domestic and RM2+ for international, I guess

Well , 50 cent is quite enough to send around Msia

well, simpleLinux EXT 4 is now available, get it now!

Nice one, Fariz! I'll download this once I'm not capped. BTW, why don't you use places at Malaysia for the codenames instead of filesystem formats? simpleLinux Kuala Lumpur. xD
