ROSA Marathon 2012 Gnome Login

The first Release Candidate of ROSA Marathon 2012 GNOME edition has been released. ROSA Marathon is a line of Linux distributions published by ROSA Laboratory, a Linux solutions provider based in Moscow, Russia.

Other Linux editions published by ROSA Laboratory are ROSA Marathon 2012 KDE and ROSA Marathon 2012 LXDE. Both have already been reviewed on this website. See ROSA 2012 LXDE review and ROSA Marathon 2012 review.

May i know how long they will support a release cycle? Their distribution seem solid. I want to use them as on my production machine.

Being something of a ‘distro-junkie’ ( I download and install weekly)
I was surprised to find ROSA a pretty good example of a well built distro. Unfortunately with SO many other distros it will most likely
remain a somewhat small in terms of users. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. My own personal choices tend to be Ubuntu-based OS’s
so that’s not a bad thing. I do wish the developers luck and kudos for a nice job..
