An installation of openmamba milestone1 (stable release) automatically provides access to four archives of RPM packages called repositories from which you can install software packages:

• milestone1 repository is the main archive for software packages that constitute the current stable release of the openmamba distribution;
• milestone1-games repository contains apart games which take a lot of storage space;
• milestone1-updates contains the security and functionality updates that have been made available after the stable release of the operating system;
• milestone1-1.1 repository contains the updates of the 1.1 release.

The packages in these repositories can be installed using the synaptic or apt-get tools.

Use of the stable distribution is recommended to all users who use the system in production environment and expect the available functionalities not to change for long periods.

milestone1 repository: Most popular packages (from DistroWatch): Index | Browse | Deps | Log | Config | APT

If you want to take advantage from the latest system functionalities, with support for more recent hardware and new software releases, it is possible to upgrade to the development system by configuring openmamba to use the devel and devel-games repositories. This operation is not reversible and is only suggested to beta testers or experienced users because it may cause problem to your system even with loss of functionality compared to the stable distribution. For more information see the development page.
