Unity Linux 2010

Remaster and Backup

You can create your remaster of any distribution based on Unity Linux with the command 'mkremaster'.

The Unity Logo

The Unity Linux logo is a tree leaf for a reason. We liken Unity Linux as the core or root of the distributions that build on it. Like a tree, each subsequent distribution based on Unity would be a 'Branch'. Branches are made easily with the LiveCD tools at the core of every Unity Linux based desktop.

Did you know?

Unity Linux packages are built using a 'chroot' which means that each package is built in a pristine environment so that developers are able to identify hard to find build requirements quickly and easily. It also affords developers the ability to build 32bit packages on a 64bit host.
