Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre is a dormant^[7] Argentine Linux distribution^[8] written from scratch^[9] 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.^[10] 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.^[11] In the past, Dragora could be downloaded from its website or purchased on CD^[12][13]

Dragora uses the SysV init system as of 3.0 Beta 2.^[14]
