“As you might imagine, Austrumi Linux is not geared
toward competing with Ubuntu, Fedora or any of the larger desktop
distributions. Rather it’s all about portability and the
ability to maximize utility while minimizing the actual size of the
distribution…

“Austrumi is designed to run in RAM so an install is not
necessary to use it. However, you do have the option to install it
to a hard disk or onto a USB device. I mucked around with the hard
disk install but wasn’t able to get it to work in VirtualBox.
Your mileage may vary, however, so if you want to play around and
see if you can get it installed, go for it. Please take a moment
and share the results in the comments section below if you do
decide to do an install.”
