Review: United Linux 1.0

Installation

United Linux uses SuSEs propietary tool YaST2 ("Yet another Setup Tool") as installer. The setup consequently follows the familiar grounds we are used to by other SuSE products. Yet, immediately after the boot procedure a copyright window reminds us that we are dealing with a commercial product, not with Free Software.

As next step in the installation procedure the language has to be selected. US English serves as default, but United Linux supports 22 other languages as well, including Japanese and Chinese. Once the localzation has been set up, the configuration of keyboard variant and mouse type follows.
