Frugalware is a general-purpose Linux distribution designed for intermediate users who are not afraid of text mode. “The Frugalware Philosophy” is about simplicity, multimedia, and design. The authors try to make Frugalware as simple as possible while not forgetting to keep it comfortable. Frugalware uses Judd Vinet’s pacman package manager.
