Technical Overview
The distribution was based on SUSE Linux and the Linux Standard Base, with the plan being for SUSE to do most of the engineering work and SCO, Turbolinux and Conectiva primarily to market the distribution in their territories and markets .
It was planned that version 1.0 would take six to eight months to release, be the current version for one year and be supported for another year after the release of 2.0. Minimum technical requirements were:
- Linux kernel 2.4.18 or higher
- GNU C Library 2.2.5
- Linux Standard Base compliant
- OpenI18N (formerly LI18NUX) compliant (internationalization and localization)
- GB18030 compliant (the standard CJK character encoding used in China)
- GCC 3.1
- XFree86 4.2
- KDE 3.0

Famous quotes containing the word technical:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
