Linux Webstartup Whoa For Linux

Linux Webstartup Whoa is an open source distribution of Linux based on the popular elementaryOS operating system and built around the astonishing Pantheon desktop environment.

The Linux Webstartup project features three main editions, Lite, Play and Whoa, each one tailored for a specific audience. For example, the Lite version is designed for low-end machines, as it features the LXDE desktop environment, and the Play flavor for high-end machines, thanks to the Unity user interface.

It is available for download as a single and hybrid Live DVD ISO image that can be easily written to a blank DVD disc or a USB thumb drive. Supported hardware platforms include only 64-bit (x86_64).

Users will be able to use the live medium to try the operating system without installing anything on their computers, run a memory test, boot an existing OS, as well as to install the distribution without testing it (not recommended).

It is recommended to install Linux Webstartup Whoa on systems that support the 64-bit instruction set architecture, have at least a dual core processor from Intel or AMD, the latest graphics cards produced by Intel, Nvidia or AMD, 2GB of RAM, as well as at least 8.6 GB of free disk space.

The graphical session is simply amazing, comprised of a top panel for accessing the main menu and launching applications, and a bottom dock (application launcher) for interacting with running programs.

Default applications include the Transmission torrent downloader, FBReader e-book reader, Birdie Twitter client, Mozilla Thunderbird email client, Mozilla Firefox web browser, Clementine audio player, LibreOffice office suite, GIMP image editor, FileZilla file transfer client, and many more.

Linux Webstartup Whoa proves to be a beautiful and modern operating system based on the elementaryOS distribution and engineered to replace your current OS, especially those unsafe Windows XP ones.
