KateOS
open-in-new
<p>KateOS was a <a href="/facts/Linux_distribution/0vVl4N4f">Linux distribution</a> originally based on <a href="/facts/Slackware/eGJIIHgW">Slackware</a>. It was designed for intermediate users. Its <a href="/facts/Package_management/kEX4kx7g">package management</a> system used so called TGZex (.tgz) packages, which unlike Slackware packages support dependency tracking (optional), internationalized descriptions, and were designed for ease of update. There were two native tools for package management: <i>PKG</i> and <i>Updateos</i>. The last version released was KateOS III (3.6), including as a <a href="/facts/Live_CD/J4bpHUs1">Live CD</a>, in 2007. </p>
