Hi guys
my name is Siddharth ,I am from India and my age is 13 years.I am a Linux lover,Hopping from One place to another for finding a Linux for me.
I hope that Arya Linux is that one.I am really happy that there is one Linux rising from India. Now some questions in my mind.
1.There is any so that i could install synpatic package manager in Arya Linux.
2.There is any way to install packages not from terminal or from any software center.
3.Is it true that there is not anyway to install software not from terminal but from software center.
4.Why don't Arya Linux did not become Independent ?
And That's all
Thanks
Siddharth, we are a global world now - it shouldn't matter where a Linux distro comes from (and, anyway, there are usually many people contributing to each distro who come from many different countries).
What matters is whether the distro you choose does what you want it to. In that case, Arya is perhaps not a good choice if you are asking the sorts of questions that you are asking. You should maybe therefore start with a distro which is more complete and needs less hands-on tweaking. Distrowatch.com would help you out in that respect.

Thanks

Did you mean the "Based on" DistroWatch Search Criteria pull-down selections?
Hi&welcome! DistroWatch search, selecting India & .deb returns: 1. SuperX 3. Rebellin

Might you tell us a tiny bit about your PC, Linux goals, particular areas of Linux interest[?]

I think that was NOT what he was saying, though I could be wrong.
If you want a distribution that supports a particular package manager (or other application) it makes sense to investigate the distributions on Distrowatch to see which ones include that particular package.
I am not sure that the country of origin even matters, though clearly the language support may be very important.
In any case, I wish you good fortune in your search.
I am the creator of Aryalinux. Am glad you liked it :-)
If you come from a debian or a red hat background you might be familiar with the GUI based package manager. Well Arya doesn't have anything like that. The reason is as someone stated earlier, there are no packages in arya like in other distributions. Everything builds from source code. alps makes it easy to do so but it's not a package manager like apt-get or yum. That being said we are working on a graphical front end for alps which would be bundled with the next release. It would be similar to Ubuntu synaptic though it would not download and install packages like in Ubuntu. It would simply help you build applications from source code.
I could not understand what you meant by Independent. If you could clarify that I could answer that as well.
command line updating and installing software is not as scary as some may think it is. It is a normal process for Linux. It can handle it, but can you?
