German Linux distribution
The German Linux Distribution (DLD) was the first German Linux distribution .
It appeared for the first time in 1992 and was produced and distributed from 1994 by Delix Computer GmbH, which was founded by Dirk Haaga , Nils Mache and Jens Ziemann, from Stuttgart . Initially it was compatible with Slackware , but this compatibility was abandoned when the init system was changed from BSD to System V style and RPM was introduced as the standard package format. DLD stood out for the translation of almost all documentation and programs into German .
At the beginning of 1999, the DLD version 6.0 Professional was certified by IBM as Netfinity Server Proven .
The last version of DLD was 6.1 in 1999. After Red Hat acquired Delix that year, DLD was discontinued. Dirk Haaga then managed Red Hat Deutschland GmbH as managing director until his accidental death in 2006.
