Vorkon

Şuraya atla: kullan, ara

In cooperation with several Linux projects and members from current and former SUSE staff the publishing house millin Verlag has produced a preconfigured version of SUSE Linux 10.1 called vorkon. In addition to the complete downloadable version from openSUSE with about 6.5 GB of software the vorkon DVD includes third party software:

  • Adobe Reader 7.0
  • Adobe ICC-Profiles
  • Macromedia Flash Player 7
  • Java JRE
  • moneyplex
  • RealPlayer
  • AVM driver (Fritz!Card ...)
  • 3D driver for NVIDIA and ATI
  • ...

a digital library with official documentation from SUSE and several Linux projects:

  • 4 official SUSE handbooks
    • Installation
    • Reference
    • Applications
    • AppArmor
  • SelfLinux
  • Linux from Scratch
  • Gimp
  • Mambo
  • mediawiki (this came in very handy in writing this article)
  • MySQL
  • TYPO3
  • ...

and preconfigured vorkon applications:

  • cinepaint workshop
  • eGroupWare
  • Firefox extensions
  • FlightGear
  • Gallery 2
  • Joomla
  • mediawiki (this came in very handy in writing this article as well ;-))
  • moodle
  • Nagios
  • Nvu (German version)
  • ODBC
  • phpBB
  • Qps
  • Serendipity
  • TYPO3

After installation all those vorkon applications run out of the box. The applications, like eGroupWare, mediawiki or TYPO3 that are based on LAMP are not available via localhost only, but can be accessed in a LAN as well. So for instance a groupware server or a TYPO3 server is already included in vorkon (one can also write wiki articles locally and put them on a server later).

Comprehensive documentation material is included in all vorkon applications. In addition the cinepaint workshop includes sample material.

Last but not least the first 100 updates are already included in vorkon to give the user a better start with the product right from the beginning.
