Fox Linux is an Italian distribution of the Linux operating system. It is based on Fedora and is optimized for the i686 architecture. It is designed for new users and those with simple requirements, such as writing and printing documents, browsing the Web, listening to music or watching movies, and burning CDs and DVDs. Other features of this distribution are that it is entirely free and fits on a single CD, so it can be downloaded and installed even with a modest Internet connection. Additional software may be added later using extra discs known as packs or by downloading it from dedicated repositories. Image File history File links Logo_fox. ...
