Kororaa 16

Kororaa is a Linux distribution based on the Fedora operating system.

Kororaa was born out of a desire to make Linux easier for new users, while still being useful for experts. The main goal of Kororaa is to provide a complete, easy to use system for general computing.

Originally based on Gentoo Linux in 2005, Kororaa was re-born in 2010 as a Fedora Remix1 with tweaks and extras to make the system “just work” out of the box.

The main goal of Kororaa is to provide a complete, easy to use system for general computing which is assisted by the following:

- Support for as much hardware as possible
-- End user desired applications as defaults (e.g. Firefox over Konqueror)
 Ability to play all media out of the box using free software (with Flash the exception)
- Ability to use Flash on the web (installable, if the user wants)
- Target specific applications for tasks without a lot of bloat
- Provide simple means to getting support
- Provide howtos, guides, on how to use the system
- Build a little community of Linux users
