Practice

Alt Workstation 8 is a universal distribution that includes an operating system and a set of applications for full-fledged work, supporting 32/64-bit x86 platforms and various hardware.

Alt Workstation is an enterprise-level solution that allows you to migrate to import-substituting software.

Can be used as part of an existing Active Directory infrastructure (domain authentication, access to file and print resources) and a heterogeneous network managed by Alt Server.
