These are the sources used to build the witchOS Distribution.

witchOS is a mix of LFS and some Arch Linux Packages ported to our Filesystem Hirachy Standard.

It is aimed to be a siple way for linux newbies to get started using it on their desktop pc's.

We provide a live-dvd with a preconfigured KDE Desktop and an easy to use Graphical Installer.

Also we decided to prt and use pacman. The Arch Linux Package Manager.

Therefore we are also aa rolling release distribution which means you don't need to reinstall your system with every major milestone we archieve.

Just do a system update and reboot ;)
