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 s
iysterm can be installed online using [[Advanced Packaging Tool]], and are available on add-on CDs.

Additionally, a separate online repository of unsupported software (this includes software that's free to use, but not [[open source]], such as [[Adobe Flash]]) is available.

==Package management==
(contracted; show full)
* 10 December 2005 - Ark Linux 2005.2
* 2 August 2006 - Ark Linux 2006.1, Ark Linux Live 2006.1
* 17 August 2007 - Ark Linux 2007.1, Ark Linux Live 2007.1
* 14 May 2008 - Ark Linux 2008.1—Last KDE 3.x based release

However, there is usually a Dockyard ISO available (see Package Management above), which sometimes will be updated further than the last release. For example, the Ark Linux 2007.1 release encountered some hardware support glitches, such as not detecting AHCI SATA controllers. A hot-f
lix ISO was released, which included this functionality, but the version number was not increased, as other known errors were yet to be fixed. This means that the currently suggested installation ISO (Dockyard) is not the latest official release.
