Aurox is a Polish (don't mistake it with polished) Linux distribution, originally based on RedHat Linux and now on Fedora. The distribution is, easy to guess, completely localized for Polish users, but it also delivers great translations for other languages, concentrating on the Central and Eastern European countries. Currently unmaintained

Aurox is well localized for the target languages. It also offers great multimedia support, featuring MP3, DivX/XviD, and DVD playback which is not possible in Fedora due to restricted patent law in the US and the internal Red Hat policy.

Lately, Aurox developers started to offer very well laptop support as well. In version Aurox 11 the comfort of work with mobile computers has been significantly improved due to better support for WiFi, system suspend and ACPI technology.

Aurox is a good choice for beginner users who want to have a configured Fedora Core with multimedia support, especially for the beginner users living in Central/Eastern Europe.
