A Slackware Linux-based distribution that utilizes the NetBSD package management system, this GNU/Linux distro provides a simple, stable platform for tasks such as server hosting and system administration.
Voltalinux is a powerful GNU/Linux distro that combines the robustness of Slackware GNU/Linux with the versatility of the pkgsrc package system from NetBSD. The fusion of these two software components result in a distribution that offers users an outstanding availability of software, making it an appealing choice for those looking for a strong and solid Linux operating system.
The project behind Voltalinux aims to provide a prebuilt distribution that makes it easy for users to enjoy the benefits of Slackware and the pkgsrc package system without the effort of having to install and configure it themselves. With this distribution, users can enjoy the clean design of Slackware with the added benefit of having access to over 5400 real ports, making it possible to install software such as postfix, courier, imap, qmail and many more in just minutes.
Voltalinux is based on about 60 packages from Slackware 10.2 and the pkgsrc 2005 Q3 system from NetBSD, making it possible to have a complete operating system while maintaining only a few essential software components. This is made possible thanks to the existing work of many others who contributed to the project.
Although primarily intended for server use, Voltalinux is capable of accommodating any user's needs. Overall, Voltalinux is a great choice for anyone looking for a GNU/Linux distribution that offers power, versatility, and ease of use.
