BLAG Linux and GNU is a discontinued Linux distribution made by the Brixton Linux Action Group.[2]
BLAG is a discontinued, single-CD distro with applications desktop users "expect" from a desktop including multimedia, graphics, desktop internet applications and more. BLAG also included a collection of server packages. BLAG was based on Fedora plus updates, adds apps from Dag, Dries, Freshrpms, NewRPMS, and includes custom packages.[3][4]
BLAG was one of the few operating systems listed as a completely free software distribution by the Free Software Foundation.[5]
History[edit]
The first public release of BLAG was 22 October 2002. The latest stable release, BLAG 140k, was based on Fedora 14, and was released on 4 May 2011. In October 2014 Blag 200000 was released in alpha form.[6]
Planning for BLAG 240000 commenced in January 2016 but it was never released.[7]
The script used in BLAG for cleaning the kernel from non-free blobs shipped in it by default was used as a base for the Linux-libre set of scripts.[8]
