rPath Linux is a Linux distribution utilizing the Conary distributed software management system.
The rPath Linux is a Linux distribution that has been built with the new Conary distributed software management system. This distribution provides the foundation for creating software appliances that can easily be tailored to meet any application requirements. The use of Conary packaging technology also allows for a more fine-grained breakdown of system components than in typical Linux environments, making it easier for developers to pick the pieces they need to support their application.
The rPath engineering team has a long history of delivering high-quality Linux technology to demanding enterprise customers and software vendors. They have incorporated the lessons learned from these customers and partners to build rPath Linux, a distribution that is engineered to the highest levels of quality to meet the demands of today's corporate IT environments.
If your application is already on Linux, it will likely run unchanged on rPath Linux, making the process of offering your application as a software appliance minimal. This compatibility with many popular commercial Linux distributions makes it a seamless transition for software vendors to use rPath Linux.
The newest release, rPath Linux 2, is now available and recommended for general use as an appliance platform. This release is the next step in the evolution of the rPath Linux platform and has been technology refreshed with new versions of packages. Additionally, rPath Linux 2 is better tuned as a platform to show off your work, with a smaller size than rPath Linux 1 and a graphical boot process that is customizable to look the way you want. Several additional runtime security measures have also been added to most packages, making the system more secure, and the syslinux bootloader is now the default, ensuring a more robust system boot.
Overall, rPath Linux is a highly customizable and quality-driven distribution designed for enterprise IT environments. Its compatibility with other popular Linux distributions and Conary packaging technology make it a powerful choice for developers looking to create software appliances. With the release of rPath Linux 2, it continues to evolve and improve to meet the demands of today's software vendors and enterprise customers.
