[Comm-en] differences between junior & master

[Comm-en] differences between junior & master

[Guy]

Hi,

Yesterday, I discovered Alt Linux. It really looks very promising to me:
as easy to use and configure as Mandrake, but also as easy to
maintain/update as Debian. That is exactly what I was looking for !

But I'm not sure what version I should install: the Junior or the
Master?
Can someone tell me what the differences are ?
I know, the Junior edition comes on 2 CD's and the Master on 9 (or 8 if
downloaded)
Is the only difference the number of cd's (and thus the number of apps)?
If so, I suppose I can install the Junior edition and get the apps of cd
3-8 (not 9 of course, because these are commercial ones) with the
Synaptic tool or is/are there other difference(s) ?

Another question:
Will there ever come an English user manual ?
I'm not that good in Russian, you know ;-)

Well, you can start with Junior and then gradually turn it into
Master if and when you want :-)

Development and server part mostly belongs to Master since Junior
itself is only 1CD, and its second disk is a subset of Master's
development packages in essence.

Exactly.

Junior == workstation (upgradable)
Master == ws/server/developer's seat

Free part of CD9 is also the same updates/fixes as found on FTP
I believe.

Umm... let the official team answer that :)

As far as I'm concerned ;-) it depends on amount of sales outside of
Russia.

As far as I know English isn't most spoken language in Belgium. I
guess you would prefer Dutch or German (or even French) :-)
