BLAG Linux and GNU is a Linux distribution made by the Brixton Linux Action Group.[3]

BLAG is a single-CD distro with applications desktop users "expect" from a desktop including multimedia, graphics, desktop internet applications and more. BLAG also includes a collection of server packages. BLAG is based on Fedora plus updates, adds apps from Dag, Dries, Freshrpms, NewRPMS, and includes custom packages.[4][5]

BLAG is one of the few operating systems listed as a completely free software distribution by the Free Software Foundation.[6]

History

The first public release of BLAG was 22 October 2002. The latest stable release, BLAG 140k, is based on Fedora 14, and was released on 4 May 2011. In October 2014 Blag 200000 was released in alpha form.[7]

As of May 2016 Distrowatch still listed BLAG as "active", although the developer roadmap was a blank page.[8] [9] Planning for BLAG 240000 had commenced in January 2016.[10]

The script used in BLAG for cleaning the kernel from non-free blobs shipped in it by default was used as a base for the Linux-libre set of scripts.[11]
