Distributed as 32 and 64-bit Live DVDs
This Debian-based operating system is distributed as two ISO images that can only be installed on a local disk drive using graphical or text-mode installers provided on the boot prompt, which also features a hardware detection utility. It includes software packages optimized only for the 32-bit hardware platform.
Boot options

Installing Serbian GNU/Linux
The installation process requires users to choose their preferred language, select their location, configure the keyboard, set a root (system administrator) password and new users, configure the clock, partition the disk, and install the bootloader.
