Scientific.dk's Specialization support
UNDER DEVELOPMENT just NOW: 10th of february to 10th of march and then updating. The specialization section will be particular under-developed for every other distribution than Ubuntu for long. Ubuntus own specializations will partly be found under optimization and partly -later- below. But as mentioned under The OpenSource exploratorium each distribution have their own specialization advantages:
For school-linux international: School-Linux
For childrens edutainment in general: Edubuntu
For audio-equilibrists: Agnula-Demudi
For fast-processor-optimized: York-Linux
For older-PC equipment based on red-hat: Cobind-Linux
For debugging- & hardware detection: Knoppix
For Newbie-freindly-Linux based on Debian (Also advanced servers): Ubuntulinux
For community supported redhat alternative: CentosFor commercial Linux users that want all setup & get commercial support:
Mandriva, Redhat and Suse
For extreme stable Unix servers with: Solaris
We completely renounce any damages that may occur when you use these guidelines and all you do is on your's own responsibility.

From the very beginning you can install specialized Linux-Ubuntu distributions. Look in the section Existing pages with similar names or follow our specializations.
