Ark Linux 2005.1 released

After 3 years of development and testing, the Ark Linux team have decided to 
release the first stable version, Ark Linux 2005.1.

The goal of Ark Linux is to build the easiest to use Linux distribution for 
people converting from That Other Operating System, while keeping it 
technically sane.

Ark Linux 2005.1 is built around the latest desktop technologies, including 
KDE 3.4, OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 (a preview of 2.0 is also available on the Ark 
Extra Software CD), glibc 2.3.4, X.Org 6.8.2, and kernel 2.6.11.

The base insall CD of Ark Linux contains everything the average desktop user 
will need - other tools, for example compilers and development tools, 
additional games and support for additional languages, are available on the 
extra CD images "Ark Development Suite", "Ark Extra Software", "Ark Server 
Software" and "Ark Extra Languages", and of course in our large online 
package repository, easily accessed through the Kynaptic GUI. Experienced 
users can use the "apt-get" tool to install software from the repository on 
the command line.

Ark Linux 2005.1 can be downloaded from http://www.arklinux.org/ using ftp, 
http, BitTorrent or EDonkey.
