<p>An installation of <b>openmamba milestone2</b> (stable release) automatically provides access to
some archives of RPM packages called <i>repositories</i> or <i>channels</i> from which you can install software packages:
<ul>
 <li><a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=milestone2">milestone2</a> channel is
the main archive for software packages that constitute the current stable release of the openmamba distribution;
 <li><a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=milestone2-games">milestone2-games</a> 
channel contains apart games which take a lot of storage space;
 <li><a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=milestone2-updates">milestone2-updates</a> 
contains the security and functionality updates that have been made available after the stable release
of the operating system.
   </ul>

<p>The packages in these repositories can be installed using the package management tool which comes integrated
with your openmamba desktop environment or using the command line commands <i>pkcon</i> and <i>smart</i> tools.

<p>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.

   <b>ADDITIONAL CHANNELS</b><br>
<p>The additional channels contain more up-to-date software packages which are considered stable but are waiting
to be fully tested before being made available to all users.
<p>In order to get updates from an additional channel you need to enable it in the <i>Software sources</i>
settings dialog of the openmamba packages management tool.
A channel can be as well enabled by command line by issuing the following command:
<pre>pkcon repo-enable channel_name</pre>

<ul>
 <li><a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=milestone2-kernel">milestone2-kernel</a> channel
contains the most recent Linux kernel version with its components;
 <li><a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=milestone2-kde4">milestone2-kde4</a> channel
contains the most recent version of the KDE4 desktop environment;
 <li><a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=milestone2-xorg">milestone2-xorg</a> channel

<br><p>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 <a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=devel">devel</a>
and <a href="/distribution/distromatic.html?tag=devel">devel-games</a> repositories.
<b>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.</b>
