Linuxrpms.com Documentation

Guides for installing and using Linux, finding packages, and getting the most from the Linuxrpms.com mirrors and services.

Welcome#

Linuxrpms.com runs mirrors of Linux distributions and open-source projects, and offers hosting, cloud servers and RPM repositories. This documentation explains how to install Linux, set up a desktop, use our mirrors and find the packages you need.

The guides are written for everyone, from people trying Linux for the first time to administrators running servers.

Getting around#

The tabs at the top of this page lead to each main area of the documentation. The menu on the left lists the guides in each area, and the On this page list on the right jumps to a section of the page you are reading.

On a phone or small screen, open Documentation menu to see the guides.

Type in the Search docs box above the menu to filter the guides by name. To look up a specific RPM package, sign in to your account and use Search RPMs in the dashboard.

First time here#

New to Linux? Start with these guides:

  • Install Linux: choose a distribution, prepare your computer and install it.
  • Linux desktops: set up your desktop, install apps and fix common problems.

Mirror directory#

Every distribution and project we mirror has its own page with a description and download links. Choose a letter to browse the mirrors:

Using a mirror#

Each mirror lives at its own address, such as fedora.linuxrpms.com or debian.linuxrpms.com. Use that address to download installation images, or point your system's package manager at it for faster updates.

Tip

Mirrors are kept in sync with each project's official servers. If a mirror looks out of date, let us know using the contact details below.
