March Linux Description

March Linux aims to be a Simple, Lean and Fast GNU/Linux distribution for the desktop. March Linux aims to be a Simple, Lean and Fast GNU/Linux distribution for the desktop which urges the users to learn linux instead of holding their hands at every step!At the same time, it is usable and fully functional with almost every software that one might need being available. This distro is heavily based on Arch Linux, which is IMHO the coolest distro on earth! In fact, I prefer to call March as a "distrolet" of Arch!

It is not the stock Kernel26 package from Arch Linux, but a custom-compiled one, patched with squashfs-lzma and aufs to work with the Linux -Live Scripts.Package management is provided by pacman 3.0.4-4, the wondeful package manager for Arch linux.March Linux offers gcc 4.1.2-3.Default desktop is Fluxbox 1.0rc3-1Desktop FeaturesThis section is basically a 'walk-through' of the menu.
