Stella is a desktop focused, GNOME 2 based CentOS 6 Linux distribution. It is available as installable Live media and contains standard Centos software plus some multimedia and desktop additions.
Developer comments
I made it a rule not to overwrite Centos Base, so besides the changed artwork and naming what you get under the hood is basically Centos - with one big exception: LibreOffice replaces OpenOffice.
Stella comes bundled with various 3rd party repos:
- EPEL
- ElRepo
- Adobe
- nux-dextop (my own repo containing additional programs, mostly desktop oriented)
- nux-libreoffice (my own repo containing Libreoffice - backported from Fedora)
It was my intention to make it so that the bundled repos do NOT conflict. You do not need to mess around with yum configuration, priorities etc; it should all just work!
I made it another rule not to overwrite anything in EPEL or ElRepo, but if you notice any problems or package conflicts please let me know ASAP so I can fix it.
The necessary software to play a wide range of audio/video formats is already installed; Adobe Flash & Java (OpenJDK )support, too.
Additional software from ElRepo has been bundled as well, mostly wireless\ NICs drivers.
