Snowlinux is a set of Linux distributions based on Debian's latest stable
release and four different desktop environments.

It aims to be user-friendly, incorporating many useful tweaks and carefully
selected software applications to improve the work environment without losing
the stability and performance of Debian.

Linux is getting more popularity and should be as easy as Microsoft Windows.

We also develop a second, separate Linux distribution which is a Ubuntu-based
edition featuring the Gnome Shell and MATE (a fork of Gnome 2) desktop.

NEW SERVER

Slow performance

Due to this massive amount of users (we are really lucky with that) our servers
are mostly totally overloaded. That means, the main page, which is on the same
server as the ISOs and so on is not available. The little server we're currently
providing doesn't have enought power for providing a good service for all users.
The main page can not be visited, the ISOs can not be downloaded and the Update
Manager (Repository) can not be used anymore if the server is overloaded. We are
aware our users want to be up-to-date via the Update Manager and we can not
offer this with this server. While the last releases we already tried to catch
the traffic by blocking the availability to download other Snowlinux ISOs. And
we know it will not help while the upcoming releases.

 

New servers

This is the reason why we decided to arrange a new server. We are aware how much
power the new server has to provide, but we also know how expensive it will be.

 

Server

We need a machine with the following hardware:

100 GB hard disk

8 GB of memory

unlimited traffic

 

Costs

A server with these requirements cause an amount of 43 USD per month and 523 USD
per year.

 

Contract term

It only makes sense to be able to pay the server 1 year in advance.

 

What will happen

What will happen with these people who donated money? The donors will be
announced here.

 

Please help us to pay the new server for one year.







COMPANIES THAT TRUST ITS SAFETY TO LINUX

Linux was launched in 1991. Since inception rapid development and progression
has been seen in its development and expansion. There are several companies
which have been using Linux OS to make their servers secure and safe. For a very
long time now the corporations have been moving to Linux in search of more
control and administration. The best part which makes these companies a
permanent client is the fact that it is open source. Tools are available to make
amends and changes as required. Secondly, it is regarded as the fastest OS in
the world and in a part of all known super computers. Some governmental and
private organizations using this OS are:

 

 * Google
   
   It is strange but this internet giant has been using Linux since it was
   formed. The Ubuntu variant Goobuntu has been in use for this organization.
   The developers at Google have often reported that in the case of windows
   usage they require high-level permissions which are not always given. The
   main issue with windows as Google thinks is the security permissions and the
   tools. Google thinks that the window based tools are unreliable and very
   heavy for an average system. Google does not want intruders to penetrate its
   servers so Linux is used as the main technique.
   
    

 * NASA
   
   This one is literally out of this world. Satellites orbiting 250 – 500 miles
   above us are maintained by astronauts who are Linux users. The station
   command and control system is accessed by Linux. The interesting part is that
   formerly windows XP was used for this purpose. In house control and stability
   is all that is required when orbiting outside this world. It would be rather
   safe to say that the lives of astronauts depend upon this. It is because
   there are heating, electric and cooling systems which are controlled by this
   OS.
   
    

 * 888 Casino
   
   This is again one of the most renowned online casinos of the world which is
   why it’s listed on popular and reliable directory at Svenskkasinon.se casino
   reviewing  websource. It was established taking into view the safety and
   privacy which casino players need. The finances and continuous inflow and
   outflow of cash are kept secure by Linux servers. The systems of this casino
   never go buggy thanks to the stunning performance of this OS. For many years,
   this casino has been delivering its best to its players and the credit goes
   to Linux. According to the developers here, the OS is fast and bug-free. It
   also lets players enjoy more control over their finances.
   
    

 * US Department of Defense
   
   US Department of Defense or DoD has been using Linux servers for a very long
   time now. The US government is convinced that agents scrambled all over the
   world can only access DoD network securely if Linux OS is used. Here and
   interesting development has been made. The cyber Department of Pentagon has
   developed portable Linux systems. From any unsecured terminal, the OS is
   booted directly from the storage. It then presents its own interface which
   can be used to browse sensitive files. Here Linux again proves its security
   features.
