    GeckoLinux

    GeckoLinux

    GeckoLinux is a set of live Linux spins built from openSUSE

    GeckoLinux is a Linux distribution based on openSUSE. I've used Linux on the desktop since approximately 2001. I have used many versions of openSUSE since the project's inception, and I used SuSE Linux before that. I've always appreciated openSUSE's flexibility and highly innovative infrastructure, but the profusion of "paper cuts" in the default configuration always made me think twice before recommending it to others. This projects sets out to change that.
