''Compact'' was also a popular choice for [[OEM]] ~~whitelabeling~~white-labeling, i.e., creating a specific edition for various hardware vendors to bundle with their hardware. <!-- === Junior === Дистрибутивы серии ''Junior'' предназначены для решения различных прикладных задач пользователей. Помимо ставших привычной необходимостью офисных и мультимедийных приложений, а также приложений, необходимых для полноценной работы в Интернет, в ''Junior'' входят текстовые редакторы, словари, шрифты, несколько графических операционных сред, языки программирования и среды разработки, системы управления базами данных, образовательные программы, игры и утилиты администрирования системы. Одной из задач при составлении дистрибутива ''ALT Linux 2.3 Junior'' было создание на базе GNU/Linux платформы для обучения [[информатика\|информатике]] и информационным технологиям. Поэтому в нём присутствуют дополнительные учебные и методические пособия, книги и статьи по GNU/Linux и смежным темам. В конце 2007 года была выпущена бета-версия ''{{Nowrap\|ALT Linux 4.0 Junior}}''.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.altlinux.ru/company_news/junior_40_beta.html~~\|title=\|publisher=~~}}</ref> --> <!-- === Desktop === Серия ''Desktop'' —– развитие серии ''Junior'' для домашнего и офисного применения. Версия ''Small Business Desktop'' позволяет работать с программами «''1С»'' и другими российскими бизнес-приложениями, а версия ''Corporate Desktop'' включает услуги расширенной технической поддержки. --> <!-- === Master === Задача дистрибутивов серии ''Master'' —– служить универсальным инструментарием для разработчика, администратора и пользователя. ''Master'' —– наиболее полный дистрибутив ALT Linux, в котором «''всё под рукой»''. На основе Master можно строить корпоративные информационные системы, использовать его в качестве серверной платформы, для разработки клиентских и серверных приложений, в образовательных учреждениях, а также применять в качестве профессиональной настольной операционной системы. Последняя версия дистрибутива ALT Linux Master 2.4 вышла в октябре 2004 года. --> Linux ~~=== Server ===~~ ''ALT Linux Server'' is a hardened server single CD distribution.
