The Linux by Libranet distribution helps bring this
powerful operating system within the reach of millions of
non-technical computer users.

“Libra Computer Systems, a supplier of UNIX systems and software
development, today announced the release of ‘LINUX BY
LIBRANET’.”

“Linux by Libranet is based on the world acclaimed Linux release
by Debian. Debian is a volunteer organization that produces the
most advanced Linux distribution available today. The Linux by
Libranet distribution builds on Debian by packaging the most
commonly used applications onto an easy to install CD. This CD
installs over 750MB of top rated software including industry
standards such as the Netscape communications suite. Up to now the
Debian distribution was a viable choice mostly for software
developers and technical people. The Libranet release now brings
Debian to the desktop, making it available to users with little or
no Linux experience. The CD which sells at a remarkably low
introductory price of $27.00, includes one year of support via
email and fax, Linux HOWTO documentation and the Debian-Guide, a
concise, easy to follow guide to the use of the Debian Linux
Distribution….”
