Features
Several CrisOs features make it ideal as a system for rapid development for new solutions, or for everyday use as a mini-server. The huge software repository with more than 200 binary packages 1), ready to use, allows you to build any kind of solution in a few minutes, without a complex and long cross-compile procedure.
The package system is similar to any other Linux package system, and it is extremely easy to add software to CrisOs, also for Windows users without any linux experience.
Here you can see a little example to explain how to install an lighttpd+php4 on CrisOs without cross-compiling anything.
For examples please visit our documentation page and feel free to add your experiences!
Please visit also our Mailing List\IRC and get support on it.
