== Content ==
The Ark Linux core system is made up of one CD that tries to provide what the typical new desktop user will need, such as an office suite, Internet access tools, instant messaging and filesharing clients.<ref>{{cite web

Nothing else is included, for example server-centric applications and development tools are not part of the core system.

Many applications that are not included in the core system can be installed online using [[Advanced Packaging Tool]], and are available on add-on CDs.
