== History ==
Line 30:
Mandrake and Mandrake RE became different distributions and thus the decision was made to create a separate project. The name ''ALT'' was coined, which is a [[recursive acronym]] meaning ''ALT Linux Team''.
The split led to the creation of the Sisyphus package repository, which is an unstable branch of the ALT Linux development. In 2007, the Sisyphus repository won a prestigious CNews award in nomination for Information Security.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://awards.cnews.ru/2007/#6 |title=CNews Awards 2007 |access-date=11 August 2008 |archive-date=15 May 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070515180323/http://awards.cnews.ru/2007/#6 |url-status=live }}</ref>
