Welcome to sidux™ Community Software Selections Manual

This is a special manual designed to give you an overview on the packages recommended by some special interest groups in the sidux community.

It should save you hours af trawling through debian to find a genre of games or other suites of software to suit your hardware and needs.

You will probably need to add contrib/ non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sidux.list or /etc/apt/sources.list. Please refer to the sidux Operating System Manual Adding non-free to Sources List.

How to use this manual

This manual is divided into common sections of software, for example, Education has 2 areas, one aimed at software picks for kids under 10 and another for kids 10 - 99yo.

As with any documentation there will be errors/mistakes/typos, although we hope otherwise regarding errors and mistakes (typos we can live with ) please forgive us.

As the body of work grows, more documentation will be added and we at sidux are sure that this will prove to be a very valuable resource for you and we thank you for being a part of sidux.

Notice: The Descriptions were taken from Debian's Package Database using the apt-cache show command. The screenshots and hints/notes were all done by the sidux-community.
