BLAG is a 100% Free Software distribution with all the tools you want from a
desktop computer, plus more. It comes on a single CD, is easily installed, and
user friendly. Power users have the resources of a repository that combines
bits from Fedora Core, Fedora Extras, Freshrpms, Dries, ATrpms, livna, and our
own special brews.
BLAG 60000 is a new series with a new base (FC6) and many new applications.
Since September 3rd, 2006, over 50 alpha versions of BLAG-60000 have been spun.
Today, this first day of 2007, we have our first beta. The current stable
release is BLAG-50003 (the third upgrade to BLAG-50000).
Featuring all of the applications below on JUST ONE CD. Burn copies and hand
them out! It's got it all. Did I mention it's all on just one CD?

i686 (~Pentium II or greater) processors.

bits are available immediately should you need to compile a new kernel,
modules, or whatever.
