Welcome!
Aurox 11.0 Hermes is a new version of european Gnu/Linux distribution.
Aurox 11.0 is based on Fedora Core 3. It uses some parts from this system and the newest updates and fixes. Some most important parts of the distribution (hardware detection and configuration tools, X Server, configuration tools, server applications) come from Fedora Core 4.
