Greenie Linux Desktop Edition 14.04.5, operating system designed for Linux users in Czech Republic and Slovakia

Greenie Linux is an open source distribution of Linux based on the world's most popular free operating system, Ubuntu Linux, and designed from the ground up to be used by home users in Slovakia and Czech Republic. It uses the LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Project) as its default desktop environment. 

What's New in version 14.04.1 :
  • At approximately 1GB we put kernel 3.13, LXDE environment, few common programs (VLC, Firefox, etc) and of course those, which were the reason this system was built.
  • New Greenie, named internally as "MoReWrite", which is a strange acronym of "Modify, Read and Write" focuses mostly on e-books and documents.
  • If you read books, edit, write, translate or convert them, all needed tools are on this single medium. Including Slovak and Czech language packs.
  • From tools we can mention LibreOffice suite, PDF viewer (incl. programs for editing PDF), programs for undisturbed writing, converting various kinds of e-books and all for production of a book from creating cover and formatting to testing on e-readers.
  • Calibre, Sigil, FbReader, Geany and more programs will definitely suit someone who takes books at least somewhat seriously.
  • Of course it is possible to use Greenie as a completely normal system, which runs on less powerful computers. 32bit edition is prepared, which requires at least 256MB ram (at least 512 is a much better choice) for proper functioning.
  • Greenie e-book is based on Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. We also managed to fit a few games, console tools and our tiny pearl is adding some PPA repositories and fonts.

Availability, supported architectures and boot options

The distribution is available for download as a single Live DVD ISO image that can be easily written to a USB flash drive of 1GB or bigger, or burned onto a blank DVD disc using any CD/DVD burning software. Both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are supported at this time.

From the boot prompt, users will be able to try the operating system without installing it, check the media for defects (only if using a CD disc), run a memory diagnostic test, boot an existing OS, as well as to directly install the distribution, without testing it, which is not recommended.
