Welcome to Ehad Linux

'Ehad' (the Hebrew word for the numeral '1') is an Israeli project offering a repackaging of standard Mandriva Linux binary packages, in order to provide a single localized installation CD for Mandriva users in Israel. 'Ehad's charter is:

  • To provide a useful assortment of applications in a single CD, including ones that are specifically crafted for Hebrew-speakers
  • To be copatible with Mandriva Linux, thus allowing use of it's software repositories, and grtaphical configuration tools

'Ehad' has built in support for Hebrew and English out-of-the-box. Some software and configuration options may be applicable for Hebrew speakers only.

  • Current stable release is Ehad 2006 Classic edition - release 2 (compatible with Mandriva Linux 2006). New!
  • Current development release is N/A.
Minimum requirements: an x86-32 compatible cpu or better (including x86-64), 128 MB memory (256 MB or more recommended) and 4GB hard disk space (8GB or more recommended)
