Astro-Linux 06SEP (release 1.0)      A Live-CD for Astronomy -

From a basic DSL-3.0.1 a.k.a Damn Small Linux , I have fetched and configured around this fast system, a set of efficient service programs, with the Fluxbox very fast window manager and a lot of the astronomical image analyze and processing tools, using Web and networked data-bases.

Packing all this stuff on a live-CD of 700MB or an USB-key + i586 233MHz  with 128 MB of RAM was really amusing for me !

Resulting tool allows you to use Linux, Internet, and free software from astronomical community, for processing your images and spectra.
All that without any installation on your computer or your friend's one, with a backup of configuration and session data  on your USB-key.
... with pleasure,  I  hope !
