| FEATURE | DESCRIPTION |
| KEY FEATURES | Oz Enterprise is a professional release of Oz Linux for business and security. This is a strong reliable work horse solution for those who need the reliability and security of a first class Linux OS. It allows the user to choose between a GNOME or KDE desktop environment install (or enable both and switch between the two by restarting the X Window System). Oz Enterprise is named in honour of two Dutch physicists: Leonard Salomon Ornstein & Frederik Zernike, who developed the statistical mechanics Ornstein-Zernike equation, or OZ-equation. Oz Linux utilizes the Conary software system which combines package management and Software Configuration Management, which replaces the need for programs like apt-get and yum. Conary accomplishes this with such features such as rollbacks, changeset (incremental) updates, and a distributed development model. You can download Oz Enterprise here: http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/oz/ |

General editing info

Please do use Wiki syntax to emphasize things. A lot of hyperlinks is good as well, to indicate important websites which describe certain distro features in more detail.
