Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre is a dormant [8] [9] Argentine Linux distribution [10] written from scratch [11] sharing some similarities with Slackware. It has a simple packaging system that allows installing, removing, upgrading, and creating packages, although the system may be challenging to new users. [12] As it only packages free software and uses the Linux-libre kernel, the Free Software Foundation endorses Dragora. [7] Dragora is considered to be based on the "Keep it simple, stupid" (KISS) principle, believed by the authors to be a strength. [13] In the past, Dragora could be downloaded from its website or purchased on CD [14] [15] Later it could be downloaded at SourceForge. [16] as shown on its download page. [17]
