TAMU is a very complete distribution of Linux including more or less everything, including X. One of its great benefits is that it has a simple and complete X installation procedure. Users that I have spoken to about TAMU have spoken well.
[Description:] TAMU.99p12+ is the latest release in the TAMU linux series. Unlike previous releases, this one includes both integrated source and binary sets, with the entire binary set created from a single top level source make. This ensures that all programs are compiled and linked with the same current tools and libraries, and guarantees availability of working source for every program in the binary set. In addition, the new boot diskette fully automates the installation process, including partitioning, lilo bootstrapping, and network configuration. Installation requires no rebooting, and requires the user to know only the host's name and IP address. At every step of installation, the program provides intelligent defaults, making it a snap for novices, while allowing experts full flexibility in setting installation parameters. Reliability has been improved over past TAMU installation by the use of labels on all disk images, so that the program can detect and recover from bad or misordered diskettes.
This release is a full featured package, including XFree86-1.3, Emacs-19.18, net-2, bootutils, and sources for all installation programs (without any use restrictions).
