BLAG is a 100% Free Software distribution with all the tools you want from a 
desktop computer, plus more. It comes on a single CD, is easily installed, and 
user friendly. Power users have the resources of a repository that combines 
bits from Fedora Core, Fedora Extras, freshrpms, Dries, ATrpms, livna, Planet 
CCRMA, and our own special brews.

BLAG 60000 (flout) is a new series with a new base (FC6) and many new applications.

Featuring all of the applications below on JUST ONE CD. Burn copies and hand 
them out! It's got it all. Did I mention it's all on just one CD?

Democracy Player
Very cool Internet TV program. Download high-quality shows straight to your 
hard drive. Don't settle for little windows in a web browser! :)

Video editor
That's right, edit video--it's on the CD. Kino for basic editing or the more 
powerful cinelerra for movie production. Then edit DVD menus with qdvdauthor.

inkscape
enabled with inkboard so you can collaboratively work on drawings with other 
users via the Internet using jabber!

kiax
Make free phone calls around the world to landlines, mobile phones, and VoIP 
phones with this unique service from the BLAG project BLASTERISK.

Audio players
"listen", is a cool app that integrates playlists, album covers automatically, 
lyrics, wikipedia lookups, group playlists, everything. The minimal rock-solid 
xmms is there as always.

mplayer & xine
Two top-notch video players, plus mencoder to re-encode audio and video

DVD Ripping
Well, that's what it does. Thoggen! So easy to use, straight to theora format. 
For CDs, there's the venerable grip.

audacity
Edit soundfiles with a lean, easy to use, but powerful sound editor.

Gaim
Handles jabber, AOL, MSN, IRC, ICQ, Yahoo, and other Instant messaging 
networks--all in one program. Includes encryption and "off the record" plugins 
for privacy.

Firefox
The famous web browser, of course

Thunderbird
Nice email client

streamtuner
Tune into streaming radio stations on the 'net! Plus with streamripper, you can 
record 'em.

MuSE
Or instead of just listening, broadcast your own station with MuSE and icecast! 
Free music is even included.

Package/Application Management
Both yum and apt are available with pirut and synaptic GUIs. Download from our 
repo of over 8,500 free packages.

Gnome

Fluxbox is on the CD too....

games
A few of those even....

3D Modeling
World famous blender is on the CD should you decide to make the next great 
computer graphics movie!

GIMP

gnome-blog for uploading your own blog posts.

gnome-translate
Conveniently translate text or websites.

Document Layout
scribus for anything from pamphlets to long books!

Office slock
abiword a lightweight word processor, gnumeric lightweight yet powerful spread 
sheet, and glabels does its job so well.

GCC
Since 2002, BLAG has not had a compiler on the CD--compilers have been 
available on the DVDs or in the repo. With BLAG 60k, gcc, plus a few basic bits 
are available immediately should you need to compile a new kernel, modules, or 
whatever.

Server bits
apache for webserving, vsftp ftp server, and postfix for SMTP. Openssh's server 
is included, along with a dhcpd server and xinetd.

kernel
Yes! One of those. 2.6.18-1.2869. Note BLAG 60k is compatible with i686 
(~Pentium II or greater) processors. BLAG disables SELinux by passing selinux=0 
to the kernel boot line. :)

So freakin' much
And even more in the online repository. Thousands of more applications are 
available with a few clicks. No cost, yo.

Yes, all this is on one CD! 700 megs of Free Software.

If that's not enough, developers can grab the two BLAG binary DVDs and the two 
source DVDs. This has the entire repository of 8,500+ 100% Free Software packages.

Installation Instructions:
http://wiki.blagblagblag.org/Installation

Put in the CD, hit enter at the boot: prompt, and answer the few questions. :)

Alternately, if you want to ERASE EVERTYHING on your hard drive and do an 
automated install, you can type:
blagblagblag
at the boot: prompt of the initial screen of the CDROM. This makes installation 
fast and easy for computer labs, recycling centers, etc.

Upgrade Instructions:
Put in the CD and select "Upgrade" when prompted. After the install and you've 
rebooted into the upgraded system you can run this, if you are connected to the 
Internet, to grab updates to packages you may have installed that weren't on 
the CD:
apt-get update
apt-get --fix-broken install

Users have successfully upgraded using yum or apt-get by changing 50000 to 
60000 in /etc/yum.repos.d/ or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
This exercise is recommended for experienced users. Install a new 60k kernel first:
apt-get update
apt-get install kernel#2.6.18-1.2869.fc6
apt-get dist-upgrade
