Introduction

Chakra Linux was originally created as a LiveCD  to try and install Arch with KDEmod. Since its creation, it has evolved to become its own unique distribution. In the words of the Chakra developers- “Chakra is a free, user-friendly and extremely powerful liveCD and/or distribution based on the award winning KDE Software Compilation. Chakra is by default a GTk free distribution specially made for run Qt based applications and frameworks at full performance.” Just a quick heads up to anyone who extensively uses GTK apps,  CHAKRA DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY GTK APPS IN THE REPOS,  if you do not like KDE do not bother with Chakra. If you like KDE, but need one or two popular GTK apps; like Firefox, Chrome, OpenOffice, or GIMP, the Chakra developers designed a bundlesystem to package these apps in standalone bundles that don’t install libraries. Most of the testing from here on will be in VirtualBox, since my laptop has trouble with even some of the best known distros, like Ubuntu.

(If anyone complains that pre2 isn’t the official stable, I’m using pre2 since it’s just stable with bugfixes)

About DucTape

So, I'm Mitchell, or DucTape, or Mr. Awesome, depending on what name I feel like using today. I founded DWMB and am the head admin guy. Yes, that is my offocial title, "head admin guy". If you haven't figured out and like Linux (I'm not saying GNU/Linux since Android is a pretty cool guy too), BSD, Haiku, and stuff like that, then just leave. Really, you probably shouldn't internet at all if you can't figure out simple stuff like that.
