About

Netrunner is a GNU/Linux Distribution sponsored by Blue-Systems.com

Netrunner is built on Kubuntu with default integration of Gnome and Wine. Our focus is on new users as well as “power-users”, making KDE an ideal choice.

It allows Netrunner to feel comfortable for a new user, while still offering powerful customization options (with inclusion of additional add-ons) to any user wanting to explore the possibilities of FLOSS.

We go by the principles

  • Power-up, not dumb-down
  • Include add-ons, codecs, customizations
  • Avoid lock-ins, favor free(libre) alternatives if possible
Blue Systems
Blue Systems is currently the sponsor of

    Trying to register to be able to ask a question in the forums, but I can’t get passed the scrambled image/bot barrier.  I’m legally blind and driving to figure out what’s wrong with my display- it’s giving me headache!  You’re the first KDE distro I’ve tried and like your product a lot (so far), but if I can’t this display issue resolved, our time together will be short lived.

    Can you give me the  ok to distribute this distribution via Ebay.  I am in the USA and can donate $1 for every DVD sold on it to your business. I would be offering it at a price of $5.00 that includes shipping costs.

      Hello Thomas,

      go ahead and offer Netrunner on DVD, it’s libre software.

    I have been looking for an Ubuntu based KDE distribution for a long time and every one I have tried felt unfinished and disjointed, like a star shaped peg in a square hole.
    I have to say Netrunner is really impressive, it just about beats mandriva/Mageia in KDE integration.  This will be my Distro of choice to get people started in Linux from now on.
    Excellent work!

    Great distro after first look, much rather over Kubuntu. Only one thing bugs me: why did you guys pick 2 GTK solitaire games over KPatience(kpat) on a KDE distro? I know it isn’t anything major, but all the other software choices make sense to me except this.

    I am wondering since I see the same company sponsoring Netrunner and Mint, if Netrunner is also sending data to google like Mint is?
