What does it deliver?
Why Onebase features a Net-installer?
The installer of Onebase Linux is Net-based which means it provides you with a
high-level of flexibility in selection of packages and mode of installation {source/binary}.
Also with this you can instantly download the latest packages available in OL-apps.
However the HD-Installer provided by OnebaseGo is contrast to this, it is fast, fixed and pre-configured.
Which would be useful to users who need a quick install or with slow Net connection besides other advantages.
Is the OS intended for multiple purposes?
Indeed yes. It is a meta distribution and so with the OL-apps software gallery you can
make Onebase serve you different purposes like desktops, servers, productivity, development, etc.,
A separate Beta gallery is also provided for enthusiasts to try and report fresh applications.
Can newbies and windows users try Onebase?
Onebase has been developed with ease of use as one of its objectives. The installation
is simple and it comes with hardware detection. There are a number of configuration
tools to assist you, including Onebase Portal. And many of its users are windows converts. However you should be willing
to learn some very basic stuff about linux.
The Onebase Project highly recommends "OnebaseGo and Variants" for newbies.
