Demoiselle Live For Linux

Demoiselle Live is an open source, bootable, live and freely distributed operating system based on the world’s most popular distribution of Linux, Ubuntu, and built around the Demoiselle framework for simplified JEE (Java Platform Enterprise Edition) development. It is designed specifically for Spanish-speaking users.

The Demoiselle Live distribution is available for download free of charge from Softpedia, as a Live DVD ISO image optimized for computers supporting either of the 32-bit and 64-bit instruction set architectures. The ISO image can be written to a DVD disc or a USB flash drive of 4GB or higher capacity.

A standard boot menu is offered on the Live DVD, allowing the user to start the live system with normal configuration or in safe graphics mode, start the installer directly, perform a system memory diagnostic test, as well as to boot an existing operating system from the local disk drive.

Apparently, the distro is derived from the Lubuntu Linux operating system, as it uses LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) for its default and only graphical session. LXDE uses a traditional layout comprised of a single panel located on the bottom edge of the screen.

The panel includes a Main Menu applet that allows the user to quickly navigate installed apps and general settings, an application launcher applet that lets you to rapidly launch frequently used software, a workspace switcher applet that enables you to be more productive by quickly cycling between active workspaces, a task manager applet and a system tray area applet.

Default applications include the Mozilla Firefox web browser, PCManFM file manager, Leafpad text editor, Xpad note-taking app, LXTerminal terminal emulator, mtPaint drawing program, Sylpheed email client, Transmission torrent downloader, GNOME MPlayer video player, Xfburn CD/DVD burning software, guvcview webcam viewer, as well as Synaptic Package Manager.
