Pioneer Explorer 1.1 Server Helps Newcomers to Discover Linux
The Pioneer Linux Explorer Server is targeted at newcomers. The commercial distribution is available free of charge for non-commercial use.
Pioneer Explorer Server can be launched from a CD as a live system for testing before installation. Version 1.1 is completely Debian based. The repository is maintained by Technalign and the community. The server software uses Webmin as a Web administration interface via SSL. Version 1.1 is available in English only; other languages are expected as of version 1.2.
Pioneer Explorer Server is available as an ISO on the company's website. Community versions of Pioneer Linux are available for free non-commercial use.
Besides the Explorer community series, which uses KDE just like the commercial Pioneer Linux Basic version (currently version 3.0), there is also a desktop version (Pioneer Explorer, Version 1.0) of Pioneer Linux. Pioneer Renegade (again Version 1.0) offers the same features, but with Gnome.
