DragonLinux is a complete Linux operating system flavor that has been customized to install on top of versions of Microsoft Windows or any version of DOS. This version is ideal for the new or beginning user who needs to learn, evaluate, teach or demonstrate Linux. Even more advanced users will enjoy the quick install and ability to co-exist with their existing desktop environment. DragonLinux offers simplicity through ease of installation, minimal initial configuration and no repartitioning of hard drives. Unlike most major Linux flavors, DragonLinux does not require you to risk your data by forcing you to repartition your hard drive.

New in this version of DragonLinux is the Loopback file-system. This allows for installation on Windows and DOS partitions, while utilizing the Native Linux (ext2) file system with almost no performance loss. DragonLinux does not require an extremely powerful system to run. Recommended system requirements: 486 or Pentium class CPU; 8MB RAM for console, 32-64MB for X-Windows; A FAT16 or FAT32 partition with 50-130 megabytes of hard disk space free for minimal install. DragonLinux is fully compatible with Slackware v7.1 packages, and contains limited support for RPM packages. Other packages are available from both Linux Mafia and the Slackware FTP Site.
