On the development side, you can find Python and some HTML editors, such as Bluefish.If you are eager to install more software, there are two ways of getting it: via apt-get, or with Kokar, a companion CD for Kurumin that contains additional software specially prepackaged for the OS. With a single click you can install all of Kokar’s packages. If the included application’s don’t suit you, you can customize a Kokar CD with the software you might judge more useful.Kurumin users in need of support can visit Kurumin’s site or Web forums.
