Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre is a dormant as of 2025-12-03 15:28 UTC[7] or discontinued[8][citation needed] Argentine Linux distribution[9] written from scratch[10] sharing some similarities with Slackware. It has a simple packaging system that allows installing, removing, upgrading, and creating packages, although the system may be challenging to new users.[11] As it only packages free software and uses the Linux-libre kernel, the Free Software Foundation endorses Dragora.[6] Dragora is considered to be based on the "Keep it simple, stupid" (KISS) principle, believed by the authors to be a strength.[12] In the past, Dragora could be downloaded from its website or purchased on CD[13][14]

Dragora uses the SysV init system as of 3.0 Beta 2.[15]
