concept

Aurox Linux was originally based on Fedora , but brought many of its own components and its own kernel . The distribution was developed in Poland and appeared quarterly as a magazine of the Polish Linux + magazine with the current version and a number of additional software on 7 CDs , 1 DVD and additional tips, the current version  was also available for free download with a reduced scope in the form of ISO - Images available. It supported most of the European languages. The last version was Aurox 12 from September 2006.

The aim of the project was to create a distribution that is specially tailored to European requirements. In addition, great importance was attached to compatibility with notebooks , so that all important technologies were supported, such as ACPI or W-LAN . Aurox Linux was also one of the few distributions that made it possible to play CSS -encrypted video DVDs without installing additional programs or codecs.
