| NetMAX ships with a "Packages" CD-ROM. This disk contains the full collection of open source applications and utilities available at the time of release. The NetMAX "Package Management" interface allows a user to add a package without having to determine any dependencies on other packages. For example, the package "minicom" (a simple serial communications utility) requires two other packages in order to function fully. When installing minicom, these other packages are installed for you automatically.
Because NetMAX runs on a fully-functional open-source operating system,
advanced users may feel competent to compile and install ports, packages and
source manually - at their own risk, of course.
