“We continue our look at rpm-based distributions with JAMD
0.0.6, the latest release from Jim Lucha. It is his third release
in less than one year. Each release has focused on the personal
desktop experience for users who wish to use Linux but who are not
interested in the details of learning Linux; such as compiling
software, editing configuration files, and customizing the
environment. In other words, this distribution is directed toward
your neighbor. By giving him or her this distribution, your
valuable time will be spent convincing others to use Linux rather
than telling others to read the manual. After all, how many times
have you found yourself explaining that you do not need .exe files
for installing an application? If you answered ‘too many times’
then you need to take a look at JAMD 0.0.6.“JAMD stands for Just Another Modified Distribution. But loyal
users believe it is much more than ‘Just’ a modified distribution.
In their eyes, the enhancements for the desktop make it the best
choice for users wanting to ‘Just’ use their Linux desktop.“JAMD 0.0.6 is a KDE-centric modification of Red Hat Linux 9 and
includes additional software for the personal desktop–such as
Synaptic, MPlayer, SuperKaramba and Kopete, to name a few. The
software included with this release is key to its success and why
we’ll focus on these applications to make sure they work with our
test systems…”
