iGolaware Linux is an Ubuntu derived Linux distribution providing a free operating system for personal computers (Desktop / Laptop / Netbook). It is distributed for free, available for free download from iGolaware's servers. Where it differs from Ubuntu is that, although of vast majority of the software is open source, proprietary drivers, plugins and codecs are included. The base application package within iGolaware Linux also differs from that of Ubuntu. More packages are included in the base installation, to cater for first-time Linux users, so that the distribution no longer fits on a 700 Mbyte CD-ROM.
The main license used is the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) this declares that users are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change, develop and improve the software.
