Why to make another distribution?¶

Most of the modern Linux distributions are intended for enthusiasts, except Novell SLES/SLED, Ubuntu and RedHat EL. But even using these solutions setting up client/server environment could be tricky (especially when you need to use Windows and Linux clients). We created our own distribution to help other people who want to use GNU/Linux instead of proprietary OS for their business needs.
