LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS
A Linux distribution is a collection of software applications built on top of the Linux kernel and operating system. There are many variations between distributions, as each strives to provide a unique user experience
Some of these distributions include:
1). 4MLinux
Specifications
4MLinux (developed since 2010) is a miniature Linux distribution focusing on four capabilities: maintenance (by using it as a system rescue live CD), multimedia (for example, for playing video DVDs), miniserver (using the inetd daemon), and mystery (meaning console games).
2). SuperX
Specifications
SuperX is the ultimate Linux platform, computer operating system based on Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux, using the KDE desktop environment. System is highly modular and flexible with user interface especially designed with Linux beginners in mind and consists of a Linux kernel, components from the GNU project, KDE project and few components from GNOME project and many other components. As we focused on simplicity and user-friendliness, SuperX comes with an out-of-the-box experience, automatically configured. The user can focus on his work rather than messing with complex underlying Linux system, trying to setup the ideal environment for his daily work.
3). Emmabuntüs
Specifications
Emmabuntüs is an *buntu LTS based Linux distribution designed to facilitate the refurbishing of computers given to human help associations, and to promote the discovery of Linux by beginners, but also to extend the life of the equipments and to reduce waste caused by over-consumption of raw materials. Emmabuntüs includes all the required softwares to quickly and smoothly familiarise yourself with GNU/Linux. It has been necessary to find a compromise to ease the access of the distributions for everyone. That’s why we have included some proprietary softwares like Skype while waiting for a better solution but still for novice users. In order to enhance the navigation a Dock has been added. You can access to all the included softwares through this great tool.
