Product Details
The GoblinX is a bootable live CD distribution based on Slackware
Linux. The primary goal for GoblinX is to create a more pleasant and
functional desktop, standardizing all icons and themes to make it easy
for novice users to learn about available applications.
The GoblinX Premium is the special edition created to be the main
operating system of the goblin fan, our O.S. Replacement. This edition
is indicated to the goblin around the world who wishes to use it as his
installed system because it contains a very large source of
applications and features, like a devel center where you can find all
programs needed to compile applications and drivers.
The Premium Edition contains languages, libraries, files and
applications used to compile other programs from source code, contains
more applications to everyday use and games for your entertainment,
also contains more drivers and packages needed to improve hardware
support, like Sane, Ndiswrapper, Slmodem and more.
The Premium combines the estability of Slackware with a great power of
costumization where you can control everything about the system in a
very simple and fast way. The main resources of the livecd are still
preserved and you can count on more because it has two times the
original size of GoblinX.
The GoblinX Premium contains about one and half gigabyte(1,5GB)
compressed modules by using Squashfs that follow different categories
of applications. Each module includes several programs.
Beyond original modules also presented on master edition, it includes
some special modules like a_Media.mo which has several multimedia
applications, a_Network.mo full of internet/network programs and
a_Games which includes some games for your entertainment.

''This is a great Distro! Very worth the $9.99 for the premium. I can't
wait till the next premium comes out. I also think its really great how
on-disk supports the developers since I know that he is making this in
his free time and has a life outside of linux. Thank you!''
