PLD is an RPM-based Linux distribution originally developed by Polish Linux enthusiasts since 1998 . The name PLD originally meant "Polish (ed) Linux Distribution" - today it stands for an English recursive acronym for "PLD Linux Distribution". The distribution is aimed at advanced users who already have experience with other Linux distributions.
history
PLD was launched in 1998 as a package archive for Red Hat Linux . Soon after, it evolved into a complete, standalone distribution. Starting from its Polish roots, PLD is now being further developed by around 200 Linux enthusiasts (including 50 active) from all over the world.
The current version 3.0 has been developed since February 26, 2007 .
properties
PLD Linux runs on x86 - (separately optimized for i386, i586 and i686), PowerPC - Alpha -, AMD64 - and SPARC - computer architectures . In addition, it supports new network technologies such as IPv6 , in the area of security Grsecurity , PAM , GSSAPI and TLS / SSL and is mainly used on servers. More than 10,000 software packages are available for download for the stable version 3.0. Large packages (such as X.Org , KDE etc.) have been modularized to a high degree so that the user only has to install the packages that are really needed.
The distribution provides two special RPM package managers: a clone of the APT developed by the Debian project and its own program called "poldek". Like APT, Poldek is a console-based package manager that can be used to easily download and install new software packages.
CD and DVD ISO images are available for download from PLD, including so-called mini ISOs for CD, which only contain the most important packages - the rest can be downloaded and installed via the Internet using the package manager. Also available as ISO are a PLD Live CD and a Rescue CD, which can be adapted to your own needs.
