| Onebase project updates Linux OS |
Jul. 12, 2004
 The Onebase Linux Project has announced the latest versions of their Linux software. Onebase is a community-driven free and open source distribution and project with the goal to provide an easy-to-use, flexible and powerful operating environment, according to the project creator P.B.Prabhuram.
The Onebase website says that the environment should be available for both desktops and servers. The software includes Onebase Linux Management (OLM) which forms the centerpiece of the project and it delivers distinct features in a single OS. OLM is an advanced package manager that supports both binary and source installations, taking advantage of Onebase's integration of the Wine Project. This allows Onebase handle many Win32 applications.
The distribution includes features such as inbuilt support for binary and source packages, unstable apps, concurrency support, security updates, among highlighted features. The site's philosophy is available here.

It provides a feature called EPS for accessing extra applications from a LiveCD, according to the announcement. Both are available here. A full list of features is available here.
System requirements for Onebase include an x86 processor that supports i686 binaries, 32MB RAM, minimum and 2GB of hard-disk space. The software supports most major video cards, a CDROM drive, and OnebaseGO requires an additional at least 64MB RAM.
OnebaseGo costs US $15.00 and the Onebase Linux OS is US $10.00, both with free shipping and handling. Full licensing details of Onebase are available.
The Onebase Linux project launched in June 2003.
