IDMS-Linux is a specialized Linux distribution focused on stability, security and long term support.
The distribution targets installations on servers and experienced administrators, providing an advanced, stable platform for services and development.
DMS Linux is a distribution targeted towards servers and experienced administrators. Although IDMS Linux has a gui interface and all the gui libraries, its discouraged to run a gui on a server due to the extra resource consumption. The first taste of non-gui power is the console based installer which uses RPM, this makes installing IDMS Linux a simple 5-15min job.
In the very beginning IDMS Linux was based roughly on Redhat Linux, since then its matured and transformed into its own unique flavour. IDMS Linux makes use of the RPM5 package manager, etcnet network configuration tool aswell as initng (in version 4.1+).
IDMS Linux is furthermore targeted primarily at power users, offering a unique preboot (initramfs) environment which can be further customized and used in many scenarios like emergency recovery or single file bootable remote installers.
