Ark Linux 2005.1 Released with KDE 3.4
======================================

   Following the trend for distributions to schedule themselves around
KDE releases, Ark Linux [http://www.arklinux.org/] has released their
first stable version, Ark Linux 2005.1
[http://www.arklinux.org/article.php?story=20050319113904421].  The goal
of Ark Linux is to build the easiest to use GNU/Linux distribution 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
Linux 2.6.11.

     The base install CD of Ark Linux contains everything the average
desktop user will need - other tools such as compilers and development
programmes, 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 arklinux.org
[http://www.arklinux.org/staticpages/index.php?page=downloads] using
ftp,  http, BitTorrent or EDonkey.
