English-Language Linux Distributions

As a benefit to the source code for the Linux kernel being freely-distributed, a number of companies have developed their own "distribution" of Linux. Each of these distributions has it's own feature set, and some are geared towards specific types of computer systems. In some cases, they are available at no charge via FTP and in other cases they may be purchased on CD for a relatively low cost. If you do not see your distribution listed, please send an email to webmaster@linux.org and we will get it listed.

easyLinux

Developed by: easy Information Technology
Website: http://www.eit.de/
Description: Until today Linux had the reputation to be a system which is difficult to install, without knowledge of Unix an installation was often condemned to fail.

Other distributions have finally produced useful scripts and programs which make the installation easier, but generally without a graphically user interface. We are taking another approach: initially, as with other operating systems, a VGA X Server is started and the complete installation is run GUI based, i.e. graphically. Only in rare exceptions will you need a text based console. We offer three different installation modes.
