Shift Linux 0.6.2 KDE

Shift Linux is a project by the Neowin community to educate interested developers, graphic designers, and web users about how to create a usable and functional Linux distribution. In its initial stage of a development, it has driven many new, innovative ideas towards the forefront of Linux development, and created a revolutionary set of web services, including a state-of-the-art main page and "customization center"that make the distribution better for users and developers alike.

Neowin's Shift Linux is designed to give the user an experience of being part of the Neowin community as well as having a simple, easy-to-use Live CD. Shift is a free, GPL-based Linux distribution that can be freely distributed or modified. There are no restrictions with Shift.

The project team consists of members with a wide variety of experiences and talents. Each has contributed in their own way. Whether team members have worked on the distribution itself, or the Shift website, their efforts have been dedicated to creating this quality product.

Shift Linux is based on Debian and Ubuntu, therefore it has access to all of the software and applications that are available to Debian distributions.
