RELEASE NOTES ROSA 2012 MARATHON
|
|
|
|
2012->2013->2014->2015->2016->2017
|
|
|
|
ROSA 2012 Marathon is a LTS (long time support) release with guaranteed
|
|
security and software updates for 5 years. Based on Mandriva/ROSA 2011
|
|
repositories with lots of improvements and updates. It is recommended
|
|
for Enterprise, SMB and SOHO which do not need the "bleeding edge"
|
|
technology, but require stable software and ability to work for a long
|
|
time without reinstalling the system. This is the first release
|
|
completely built using the ABF system.
|
|
|
|
You can find additional information about ROSA 2012 Marathon in its [[ROSA 2012 Marathon tour| tour]] and some information about known issues and workarounds at the [[ROSA 2012 Marathon Errata|Errata page]].
